Avian Influenza
built 640 days ago
Avian Influenza (commonly known as 'Bird Flu'), like any potential deadly pandemic, is a serious threat. Whilst the potential human consequences are understandably well documented, the possible business impact is not so well known.
Mike recognized that high virulence Avian Influenza (AI) is not yet in the Americas. He ... said he did not know why this was the case; but he expected it due to the flyways meeting in the far northern hemisphere.
During an Avian Influenza outbreak the bird carcasses need to be euthanized and destroyed with as little handling and movement as possible to prevent further spread of the disease. There are not many options for accomplishing that task. One of the most successful methods is the use of Air Curtain Burners manufactured by Air Burners, LLC. These machines have been successfully deployed in animal disease outbreaks around the world and many of the technical or scientific reports from these deployments are available on the Air Burners website or by re-quest from Air Burners.
