Top 10 Foggers and Disinfectants for Backyard Poultry in Villages: Lessons from H5N6 Bird Flu in a Duck Flock in Dong Thap, Vietnam, 2026
Dong Thap confirmed H5N6 bird flu in a household flock of 562 birds; 77 ducks died and 518 birds were culled. What should backyard poultry keepers in Thai villages prepare?
The Real Story from the News: 518 Birds Culled
VOV reported on 28 October 2026 that lab tests on 23 October confirmed H5N6 in a household flock of 562 birds in Ba Lam village, Dong Thap province; 167 ducks fell ill and 77 died.
By 24 October 518 birds had been culled, authorities ordered disinfection of the poultry housing and surroundings, the commune health station sprayed disinfectant at the home, and possibly exposed people were monitored for 21 days.
Why Choosing the Right Equipment Matters
Backyard poultry live beside homes, children and elders help feed them, and birds roam outside. When bird flu strikes, culling and investigation belong to livestock and health authorities; owners can report unusual sickness or deaths at once, clean and disinfect coops as advised, and never handle sick birds barehanded.

Prefer Not to Do It Yourself? Use a Professional Service
If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
