Briefing the media on the latest figures Tuesday, Director of the Veterinary Services Directorate, Dr Abakeh, assured farmers the Agric Ministry would compensate them for their loss.
“We want to urge farmers if any of your birds are infected quickly report to the Veterinary Services Directorate so we can help control the spread of the disease.
“Let me assure you that whatever birds the veterinary service destroyed we will compensate you.
 “What we have heard of late is that some people are telling you not to report to the Veterinary Services when you realise your birds are affected if you do that you will not be able to contain the spread of the disease and your livelihood would be lost,” he advised.
Following the outbreak, the Ministry placed a ban on the movement of poultry and poultry products within and from the affected regions to other parts of the country.
Cautioning farmers to respect the directive Dr Abakeh said the ministry needs their support to contain the spread of the virus and eradicate the disease.
“The ministry is doing everything possible to contain the spread of the disease but we cannot do that without your help, so please tell your colleagues to get on board so we avert further spread in other regions,” he added.
