"Officers are difficult to monitor traffic and tighten the entrance of poultry in a number of border-Bondowoso and Jember Jember-Lumajang because of limited staff," said Kasi Observation Diseases in the Department of Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Marine Jember, Siti Nurul Hayati, Wednesday.
A total of 89 chickens that died suddenly owned by 23 residents in the Hamlet of Karang Baru, Desa Silo, Kecamatan Silo, Jember, tested positive for bird flu virus.
