en.Wedoany.com Reported - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently invested $2 million in a research project at Purdue University to support the study of an aerosol system aimed at slowing the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). The project focuses on controlling airborne and surface viruses in poultry farming environments, seeking to provide new prevention and control strategies for farms.

The Purdue University research team is testing an antiviral aerosol system with the goal of reducing the likelihood of virus spread within poultry farming facilities. Researchers explain that this avian influenza aerosol system utilizes a natural oil-based compound designed to interfere with the transmission process of HPAI virus and enhance flock protection capabilities.

Currently, this avian influenza aerosol system is still in the testing phase. The research team hopes that in the future, this method can become a practical tool for farmers, helping to strengthen daily biosecurity management in poultry farms and reduce the impact of avian influenza. According to public information, since 2022, HPAI has led to the culling of over 90 million birds in the United States, also causing billions of dollars in losses for U.S. poultry and egg producers. Industry insiders believe that with the advancement of new technologies such as the avian influenza aerosol system, related prevention and control measures are expected to be further supplemented.
