Why does monitoring matter for avian influenza preparedness?
In a high pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI, or bird flu) response, records matter as much as the response itself. AUSVETPLAN describes the national approach to destruction, disposal and decontamination. Destruction is subject to approval by the jurisdictional Chief Veterinary Officer. Mass depopulation is also subject to state and territory animal welfare legislation and the Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines. OneTemp does not advise on those procedures. We supply monitoring equipment that helps keep workers safe on site, supports verification by the responsible agency, and produces the records agencies and producers need.
