1. PURPOSE
This document provides information to State and local decision makers addressing disposal problems
associated with domesticated bird carcasses (and associated fecal material) infected by the avian influenza
virus H5N1. It provides a description of successful disposal management options for infected carcasses and
identifies critical considerations for decision makers. This document draws from a variety of available
resources and complements existing guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The
information contained in this document may be used by State and local governments to conduct advanced
planning (e.g., special permit conditions, emergency orders, pre-screening of sites) in coordination with the
Federal government and the private sector. The use of any management option in response to an avian
influenza outbreak must be in compliance with all State/local requirements (e.g., air, solid waste and public
health requirements.) This document is not intended to provide detailed guidance on how to implement
specific disposal options but rather it identifies successful approaches taken in the past. And it provides
references to specific guidance on the different management and disposal options.
This document focuses on domesticated birds. The Department of the Interior (DOI) is the lead Agency in
response to an outbreak of the avian influenza virus H5N1 in wild birds. The USGS National Wildlife Health
Center, under DOI, has several sites where more information can be obtained:

http://www.nwhc.usgs. gov/publications/field_manual/chapter_4.pdf.
2. BACKGROUND
In domestic poultry, avian influenza viruses cause two main forms of disease, distinguished by low and high
extremes of pathogenicity, as well as many different subtypes (i.e., H5N2, H7, etc). The low-pathogenic
(LPAI) form causes relatively mild symptoms (ruffled feathers, drop in egg production), with no serious
human health concerns identified. The highly pathogenic (HPAI) form is a much more serious threat to bird
health. Occurrence of HPAI in the U.S. has been very infrequent, quickly contained and normally affects only
birds. The Asian High Pathogenic Avian Influenza form, which is a subtype of HPAI, also known as H5N1,
has been found in Asia, Europe, and Africa, but not in the U.S. to date. It spreads very rapidly through poultry
flocks causing mortality rates of domesticated birds that can approach 100% within 48 hours (see Resource:
WHO, 2006.) As of December 2005, over 150 million domesticated birds have been killed by the virus or
culled to prevent further spread (see Resource: World Health Organization (WHO), 2005.) There have been
some cases in Asia and Eastern Europe of HPAI H5N1 spreading to humans through sustained close contact
with live birds. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has indicated that this virus has the potential to
generate large numbers of animal carcasses from the response to an avian influenza outbreak.
2.1 Key Occurrences of HPAI in Domestic Avian Populations
To date, all occurrences of HPAI in U.S. domestic poultry have been caused by H5 or H7 Influenza A
subtypes, but not H5N1. Until 1999, HPAI was considered relatively rare, with only 17 outbreaks reported
worldwide between 1959 and 1998; however, since 1999 the number of occurrences globally has increased
significantly (see Resource: WHO, Avian Influenza Timeline, 2006.) USDA and others have dealt effectively
with the management of animal carcasses during HPAI outbreaks (highlighted below).

These occurrences show how to successfully respond to an avian influenza outbreak in a manner that is
protective of human health and the environment. This guide integrates the lessons learned from these previous
avian influenza outbreaks by USDA and states as they responded to these occurrences.
3. ROLES DURING DISPOSAL ACTIONS
The National Response Plan (NRP), http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/interapp/editorial/editorial O566.xml,
identifies USDA as the lead federal agency in responding to a large-scale animal carcass disposal incident.
USDA authority to act swiftly to protect U.S. animal health from a foreign pest or disease is identified in the
Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002. The AHPA gives USDA authority to carry out operations and
measures to detect, control, or eradicate any pest or disease of livestock, including poultry. Other departments
and agencies of the Executive branch provide supporting roles under this plan. EPA's principal support role
includes providing technical assistance, subject matter expertise, and support for decontamination (including
licensing use of disinfectant pesticides) and disposal issues, including interpretation of EPA's disposal
requirements. Recently, EPA, USDA, HHS, DoD, and DHS issued an interagency document, "Federal Food
and Agriculture Decontamination and Disposal Roles and Responsibilities," November 2005,
http://www.epa.gov/homelandsecurity/pdfs/conopsn222005.pdf which outlines the Federal government
roles, responsibilities and capabilities for decontamination and disposal of diseased animals. Appendix A
presents contact information for those agencies involved in the NRP. Appendix B presents how an AI
outbreak scenario would unfold according to the interagency plans developed for an AI outbreak and in
accordance with the NRP.
It is important to realize that each AI outbreak incident is unique and involves site specific conditions that
need to be considered in making the best disposal decision for the situation at the site. The decision making
for disposal occurs at the State and local levels, with technical and resource support in place from federal
agencies, should the situation require it or should the State and/or local government request it.
4. CRITICAL FACTORS (Transportation, Expedience, & Virus Inactivation)
There are three critical factors that influence the potential management options for disposal of domestic
birds associated with an avian influenza outbreak:
1. Contain the virus by limiting transportation of infected birds;
2. Respond expeditiously to reduce the potential for genetic mutations and the transmission of
pathogens to humans and other species (USDA's goal is for euthanized carcasses to be disposed of
within 24 hours.) USDA describes common methods of disposal to include composting, burial,
incineration, landfilling, rendering, and alkaline hydrolysis. (The 24 hr. period should not limit
proper packaging, transportation or disposal. Also, it should not preclude composting which can be a
very successful option.) See Reference, USDA National Animal Health Emergency Management
System Guidelines for Disposal, April 2005, pg 5); and
3. Select carcass treatment/disposal option(s) that ensure containment and inactivation of the virus and
protection of the environment given the site-specific conditions.
To minimize the spread of the virus by transportation, USDA prefers on-site management, which limits the
options to activities that can be carried out at a poultry farm (USDA Interim Avian Influenza (AI) Response
2
-------
Plan, January 2006.) On-site management (e.g., on-site composting) minimizes biosecurity concerns involved
in moving contaminated carcasses, animal products, and other materials off an affected premises. On-site
composting has been shown to be a successfully used practice based on its effectiveness by inactivating the
virus in recent AI outbreaks. However, USDA recognizes that not all types of poultry operations (e.g., live
bird markets) lend themselves to on-site management, and therefore, secure transport to an off-site
treatment/disposal facility may also be a viable option. The need for expeditious response further limits the
selection of options to those that are readily available. As for the ability of the virus to survive, in general,
HPAI viruses are not particularly hardy under certain circumstances, and thus basic options can be effective
and protective.
In the selection of treatment/disposal options, survivability of the virus is a key consideration. Short-term
exposure to heat, extremes of pH, and dryness can inactivate avian influenza. However, survivability is
lengthened when viruses are protected in organic matter, such as feces or maintained in colder temperatures.
Several sources have identified that the avian influenza virus, H5N1, has a limited time of survival without a
live host of less than or equal to 1-7 days at temperatures around TOT. Survival time may be over 30 days in
water at 32°F, and indefinite in frozen conditions or shortened to !/2 to 3 hours at elevated temperatures (132-
140°F). Studies on the survivability of various forms of the avian influenza virus include:
• Studies of domestic ducks have shown that H5N1 can survive in the environment for 6 days at 98°F.
(See References: WHO; Lab study of H5N1 viruses in domestic ducks, Oct 2004.)
• HPAI can persist in feces for 30-35 days at 39°F, and about 7 days at 68°F. (See References: Swayne,
DE and Halvorson, DA. Avian Influenza, Diseases of Poultry, pg 135-160, 2003.)
• HPAI virus remains viable at moderate temperatures for long periods in the environment and can
survive indefinitely in frozen material. It can survive for 4 days in water at 71°F and for over 30 days
at 32°F. (See Reference: http://www.poultry-health.com/fora/fowlplag.htm. Poultry Health Services
website.)
• Lu et al. (2003) reported that Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) can be inactivated in 10 minutes at 140°F
or 90 minutes at 133°F. (See Reference: Lu H., Castro A.E., Pennick K., Liu J., Yang Q., Dunn P.,
Weinstock D. and D. Henzler. 2003. Survival of Avian Influenza virus H7N2 in SPF Chickens and
Their Environments. Avian Diseases 47:1015-1021.)
See Appendix C for additional discussion on the environmental persistence of the avian influenza virus.
5. CARCASS MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
The management options presented below are organized with on-site treatment/disposal options presented first
followed by off-site landfills and then other potential management options. The order of the
treatment/disposal options is not meant to reflect that certain options are better than others. All the options
presented can be designed and conducted in an environmentally protective manner, depending on the specific
site conditions, which need to be considered.
USDA has several extensive documents that discuss the various management options and the critical factors
that need to be considered by States in the decision making process during an avian influenza occurrence.
One example of such is a report prepared for the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
by the National Agricultural Biosecurity Center (NABC). This 2004 report, "Carcass Disposal: A
Comprehensive Review" is available at:
-------
http://fss.k-state.edu/research/books/carcassdispfiles/Carcass%20Disposal.httnl
The overall approach outlined by USDA for an avian influenza outbreak is a three-pronged strategy of
depopulation (also known as culling), followed by proper quarantining and disposal of animal carcasses, and
disinfection of farms and equipment used in the response. The overall goal of disposal operations, which is
the subject of this document, is to eliminate, in a timely, biosecure, aesthetically acceptable, and
environmentally responsible manner, all animal carcasses that result from the response to an avian influenza
outbreak. Common methods used to manage infected animal carcasses and associated materials include
composting, burial, incineration, rendering, and isolation. (See References, USDA National Animal Health
Emergency Management System Guidelines for Disposal, April 2005; USDA Interim Avian Influenza
Response Plan, January 2006.) As with any of the management options, there are some considerations, such
as down time of the poultry house, lack of available equipment, timing, and end use of the material that need
to be factored into the decision making process when selecting a management option. With some of the
management options, e.g., on-site burial and on-site isolation, the survivability of the avian influenza virus is
the critical factor, and as such, decision makers should consult with Federal/State USDA officials to gather the
latest information on the survivability of the virus. A brief summary of these waste management options is
provided below.
5.1 On-Site Composting
Although not sufficiently rapid to allow disposal of the carcasses within 24 hours, on-site (including in-house)
composting will likely be a very widespread practice because its effectiveness has been proven in recent AI
outbreaks. On-site composting limits the risk of groundwater and air pollution contamination, the potential for
farm-to-farm disease transmission, and transportation costs and tipping fees associated with off-site disposal.
Additionally, there is the benefit of producing a potentially useful product, compost. As indicated earlier,
HPAI may be inactivated in 3 hours at 132°F or /^ hour at 140°F, well within the temperature range of
composting. In the case of the Delmarva Peninsula (Delaware, Maryland and Virginia) outbreak in 2004,
composting in-house occurred for 10 days, after which the material, which no longer contained a viable virus,
was allowed to continue the composting process over several months elsewhere on-site. (See References, 2005
Guidelines for In-House Composting of Poultry Mortalities Due to Catastrophic Disease.)
Composting is defined as the controlled decomposition of organic materials. Decomposition occurs when
organic materials go through a "slow cooking" process as microorganisms metabolize the organics. The
combination of the cooking process, rapid degradation, and compost cover minimizes odors, flies, and other
vectors. For this option to be effective, composting materials need to be available. These materials usually
are accessible on most farms and include poultry litter, wood chips, sawdust, ground corn cobs, baled corn
stalks, manure, and rice hulls. In March 2006, Virginia issued recommendations for whole-flock disposal of
poultry due to Avian Influenza which identifies on-site in-house composting as the preferred disposal method.
(See References: VA DEQ Recommendations For Whole-Flock Disposal of Poultry due to Avian Influenza,
March 2006.) For some general resources on composting, see the Maryland Center for Agro-Security and
Emergency Management website, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, or the EPA Composting
website at:
http://www.agnr.umd.edu/MCE/Publications/Publication.cfm?ID=fs-537

http://www.deq.virginia.gov/waste/pdf/deqaidisposal.pdf
http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/composting/index.htm
When the composting process inactivates the virus, but does not continue long enough to produce usable
compost, the material can be further composted on-site, sent off-site to a compost facility, landfill or
4
-------
incinerator, or buried on-site. If compost is produced, consistent with State compost quality standards, it may
be beneficially used on- or off-site to enrich soils by providing nutrients and reducing the need for chemical
fertilizers. State officials should be consulted when the ultimate fate of the material is determined.
5.2 On-Site Burial:
On-site burial avoids transportation and can be accomplished in a very expeditious manner. Site conditions,
however, need to be carefully assessed to ensure there will not be contamination of groundwater or surface
waters by either the HPAI H5N1 virus or conventional pollutants, such as total dissolved solids, nitrate, or
ammonia from the decaying carcasses. Adequate upfront assessment of on-site burial can prevent expensive
remediation costs. If on-site burial will be used, monitoring of ground water and surface water is a
consideration that State officials should take into account, as well as the potential need for a notation on the
deed. Potential future land use of the property should be considered in deciding whether this management
option is appropriate.
When making decisions regarding on-site burial, those responsible should:
• Consult with the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and State solid waste
agencies to obtain soil maps and drainage information. In addition, some local NRCS offices maintain
a listing of suitability for "Animal Mortality Burial" by soil map unit (See Reference: Carcass
Disposal: A Comprehensive Review.)
• Determine a sufficient distance from the proposed burial site to groundwater wells and surface waters
such that the HPAI H5N1 virus will no longer be viable by the time groundwater migrates to such
locations. A sufficient distance needs to take into account site-specific hydrogeology.
• Consider practices to ensure groundwater is not contaminated by conventional pollutants, such as total
dissolved solids and ammonia. Site-specific factors should be considered such as 1) soil type (e.g.,
karst areas) and 2) depth to groundwater (e.g., seasonally high). USDA recommends animal carcasses
not be buried within 10 ft of the groundwater table. (See Reference: USDA National Animal Health
Emergency Management System Guidelines for Disposal, April 2005.) Where site-specific conditions
are determined not to be protective, the use of a liner system may be considered.
• Evaluate the potential for the carcasses to rise to the surface after burial.
• Consult with the landowner in those cases where producers do not own the land to determine if the
landowner will permit on-site burial.
5.3 On-Site Air Curtain Incineration:
In some cases, site conditions may not be amenable to on-site composting or burial of animal carcasses. One
solution is to employ air-curtain incinerators to destroy the virus and burn the carcasses. This involves
burning with forced air within a site which greatly accelerates the burning process. Air-curtain incinerators
can be moved from place-to-place and from site to site. Air-curtain incinerators also require 1) trained
operators to properly operate the equipment and 2) a large amount of fuel because the carcasses have a high
water content. Advances in this technology include more efficient burners, and the use of misters to reduce
the air emission concerns normally associated with open air-curtain technology. With air-curtain incinerators,
the loading of the incinerators and the effect of the carcasses on the combustion process needs to be
considered, as well as the ultimate disposal of any solid and/or liquid residue. Upfront planning between
poultry growers/companies and air-curtain incinerator suppliers is important to ensure such equipment and
operators will be available and discussions with local and State officials are necessary to assure compliance
with environmental requirements. Incineration destroys the virus so the ash from an air-curtain incinerator can
be disposed of on-site or at an off-site landfill. (See Reference: USDA National Animal Health Emergency
Management System Guidelines for Disposal, April 2005, pg 14-15.)
-------
5.4 On-Site Isolation:
In some cases, particularly in warm weather, where the deactivation of the virus is fairly rapid, isolation of
carcasses may be a viable option. Considerations for this option should include a covering or the use of
bags/containers prior to isolation to improve handling, (i.e., poultry carcasses become difficult to manage after
24 hours) to prevent the spread of the virus, control odors, as well as controls to prevent vectors. This option
also can be used in combination with other on-site options to provide additional time to set up composting or
air-curtain incinerators or for on-site burial. If the isolation is sufficient to deactivate the virus, the material
may be buried on-site or sent off-site to a landfill or incinerator. (See Reference: USDA National Animal
Health Emergency Management System Guidelines for Disposal, April 2005, pg 5.)
5.5 Off-Site Landfills:
Off-site landfills that can be used to manage carcasses include municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs), in
compliance with the Federal criteria (40 CFR Part 258), and industrial solid waste landfills. (In considering
this option, the off-site transport of these carcasses will need to be appropriately considered. See discussion
below in Section 7 regarding the off-site transport of birds infected with avian influenza virus.) Municipal
landfills are properly sited and have the necessary environmental controls to manage the carcasses. Larger
MSWLFs have the capacity to handle a larger number and mass of carcasses. The use of a MSWLF, of
course, depends upon the willingness of the facility operator to accept the carcasses. These facilities operate
under state permits, which might require modifications to allow management of the carcasses.
5.6 Other Management Options:
There also may be consideration of other options, such as: off-site incinerators, mobile incinerators, alkaline
hydrolysis units, off-site composting, and rendering without prior deactivation of the HPAI H5N1 virus and
possibly new and alternative/innovative approaches. Certain situations may require alternative approaches.
For example, very cold temperatures may make some options impractical and dictate different approaches
(e.g., burn barrels, boiling, or the use of lime to raise the pH) to respond to an HPAI H5N1 outbreak in a very
cold climate.
Incinerators, such as mobile and municipal solid waste incinerators, are contained and controlled devices that
can burn the carcasses and limit air emissions in a manner that is environmentally protective. An alkaline
hydrolysis unit uses sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide to increase the rate of hydrolysis of the
biological materials into a sterile solution. Heat is also applied to accelerate the process further. The only
solid byproducts of the alkaline hydrolysis unit are the mineral constituents of the carcasses. Rendering of
animal carcasses involves conversion of the carcasses into three end products - carcass meal, tallow, and
water using mechanical and thermal processes. Carcass rendering processes include size reduction followed
by cooking and separation of fat, water, and protein. Such options may prove advantageous when site-specific
conditions, timing issues, or some other factors make the previous options less advantageous. As a general
matter, however, the off-site options require additional care to prevent the potential spread of the virus, can be
more expensive, and may run into public acceptance concerns. Off-site options, however, should not be
automatically dismissed - for example, off-site incinerators are well designed to manage wastes and are
environmentally protective.
6. EQUIPMENT CLEANING AND DISINFECTION:
With both on-site and any off-site carcass disposal options, farm structures, poultry houses, and equipment
should be cleaned and disinfected after the carcasses are removed to prevent spread of the virus and to
repopulate. In addition, equipment used on-site, such as trucks, should be cleaned and disinfected prior to
6
-------
leaving the site to prevent any potential transmission of the virus off-site. Worker's clothing also should be
disinfected for the same reason. The USDA's guidance (see References: USDA National Animal Health
Emergency Management System Guidelines for Cleaning and Disinfection, November 2005, USDA Interim
Avian Influenza Response Plan, Jan 2006) on appropriate disinfectant procedures should be consulted for
further information. EPA provides technical support to USDA and others on the use of appropriate
disinfectants. A resource that lists EPA registered (or licensed) disinfectants for use in poultry and farm
facilities to inactivate avian influenza viruses is available at: www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/avian.htm.
EPA registers pesticide products, including disinfectants. Currently, 100 disinfectant products are registered
and intended for use against avian influenza A viruses. These products are effective on hard, non-porous
surfaces usually with a 10-minute application. If the need arises for an unregistered pesticide or for an
unregistered use of a registered product, EPA may (if adequate data are available to support the request) grant
an emergency exemption to allow the distribution, sale, and use of the unregistered product or unregistered use
of a registered product for a limited period of time.
7. TRANSPORTATION:
The transportation of birds infected with the avian influenza virus from the affected premises to off-site
locations will need to consider special procedures to prevent the spread of disease. These procedures include
having a disinfectant appropriate for the pathogen or virus, leak-proof transportation, and polyethylene plastic
sheets. In addition, it is recommended that a designated government representative accompany these vehicles
for biosecurity reasons where practical. In addition, all vehicles should be cleaned and disinfected before they
leave the affected premises and again after the material has been unloaded at the disposal site. Cleaning and
disinfection procedures are important for all personnel, vehicles, and equipment. (See Reference: USDA
National Animal Health Emergency Management System Guidelines for Disposal, April 2005, pg 3-5 and
USDA Interim Avian Influenza (AI) Response Plan, January 2006.) Consideration needs to be given to lining
the trucks used in transporting carcasses to contain any fluids and to make it easier to remove the carcasses
from the vehicles. An alternative to lining trucks may be the use of 1) macro-vaults (i.e., roll-off containers
which can be sealed and are used by some portion of the waste management industry) or 2) biomedical waste
transport vehicles. For more details on the above environmental issues and to better understand economic and
social challenges regarding transportation, see "Lessons Learned from AI Outbreaks in Virginia 1983 and
2002."
8. PERSONNEL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Biosecurity is important for the eradication and control of a disease during an animal health emergency. The
use of personnel protective equipment (PPE) is an essential element of a successful biosecurity plan. PPE
refers to equipment used as a barrier between an individual and a hazard that could result in an injury or
occupational illness. The selection of PPE to protect workers in any given hazard situation should be based on
consideration of three factors: 1) information on the nature and magnitude of the hazard, 2) performance data
on the PPE under consideration, and 3) the estimated level of residual risk resulting from the quantity or
concentration of the agent to which workers will be exposed while the PPE is in use. Appendix B in the
USDA Interim Avian Influenza (AI) Response Plan discusses the use of PPE by foreign animal disease
diagnosticians (FADDs) and associated personnel charged with investigating reports of animal diseases.
9. SUMMARY
The USDA is the lead federal agency in responding to foreign animal diseases. EPA, along with several other
federal agencies, has support roles within the overall federal response. EPA's principal support role includes
providing technical assistance and subject-matter expertise and support for disinfection and disposal issues. In
-------
addition, EPA maintains communication with other federal agencies involved in an avian influenza outbreak
response, as well as States, Tribes, local agencies, and other solid waste management stakeholders.
This document identifies three critical factors and considerations in the disposal decision-making process
during an avian influenza outbreak: contain the virus by limiting transportation of infected birds; respond
expeditiously to reduce the potential for genetic mutations and transmission of pathogens to humans and other
species (USDA's goal is for euthanized carcasses to be disposed of within 24 hours); and select carcass
treatment/disposal options that ensure containment and inactivation of the virus and protection of the
environment given the site-specific conditions. As for key potential carcass management options, this
document provides information on on-site composting, burial, incineration, and isolation, and off-site landfills.
In addition, other management options are briefly identified. Numerous references and resources are provided
in Appendix D for those seeking more detailed information.
USDA and others have effectively dealt with a variety of animal diseases, including the disposal of HPAI
contaminated animal carcasses. Through the combined efforts of the federal, state, and local governments,
management of an avian influenza H5N1 outbreak can be handled in a manner that is protective of human
health and the environment.

APPENDIX B
AVIAN INFLUENZA OUTBREAK SCENARIO
• A farmer observes either sick or dying birds within his or her flock and notifies the State Department of
Agricultural or State veterinarian (depending on the state). The state veterinarian would then notify
USDA.
• An agency/lab oratory obtains the initial suspected sample (e.g., a domestic bird) and notifies the
USDA of the suspected sample. The USDA sends the suspected sample to USDA's National
Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) in Ames, IA for confirmation.
• USDA initiates a Foreign Animal Disease Investigation with the appropriate State Department of
Agriculture and State Lead Veterinarian to initiate confirmatory sampling. USDA notifies the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
• DHS notifies the National Interagency Contingency Team (NICT) with a Situation Report
(SITREP) to the USDA Emergency Operations Center network, who then notifies the other Federal
Interagency Emergency Operation Centers.
• USDA and DHS activate the Joint Information Center (JIC).
• Upon confirmation of the detection of the HPAI H5N1 virus, USDA will issue a public message
and notify commercial poultry operators of the possibility of H5N1 in the area.
• USDA, with State and local agencies, initiates control (quarantine and depopulation) and cleanup
efforts (disposal and disinfection).
• EPA, if requested, provides technical guidance to the decision makers at USDA, States, and the
solid waste and poultry industries on decontamination, disposal, and information on approved
disinfectants.
• The process above continues throughout the cleanup and clearance phases and for as many
incidents that are reported.

APPENDIX C
Environmental Persistence & Transmission of Avian Influenza Viruses
(Source: Diseases of Poultry, 11th ed)
Avian influenza viruses are relatively unstable in the environment. Physical factors such as heat,
extremes for pH, nonisotonic conditions, and dryness can inactivate avian influenza viruses. Because
avian influenza viruses have lipid envelopes, they are inactivated by organic solvents and detergents, such
as sodium desoxycholate and sodium dodecylsulfate. In the presence of organic matter, avian influenza
virus can be destroyed by chemical inactivants such as aldehydes (formaldehyde or gluataraldehyde),
beta-propiolactone and binary ethylenimine. After removal of organic matter, chemical disinfectants such
as phenolics, ammonium ions (including quaternary ammonium disinfectants), oxidizing agents (such as
sodium hypochlorite), dilute acids, and hydroxylamine can destroy avian influenza viruses. In field
situations, influenza viruses are protected by organic material such as nasal secretions or feces, which
increase resistance to physical and chemical inactivation. Cool and moist conditions favor long survival
of avian influenza viruses in the environment, avian influenza viruses have been viable in liquid manure
for 105 days in the winter and in feces for 30-35 days at 39°F and for 7 days a 68°F. Proper inactivation
and elimination of avian influenza viruses shed in the environment is essential in the control of field
infection and can be accomplished through integrated approaches including heating of buildings to 90-
100°F for one week, thorough removal and proper disposal of manure and litter, cleaning and disinfecting
of buildings before restocking. Virus in manure and litter must be inactivated or disposed of by burial,
composting, or incineration. Effective disinfectants against avian influenza viruses on clean surfaces
include 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, 2% sodium hydroxide (lye), phenolic compounds, acidified
ionophore compounds, chlorine dioxide disinfectants, strong oxidizing agents and 4% sodium
carbonate/0.1% sodium silicate. However, organic material must be removed before disinfectants can
work properly." Swayne, DE and Halvorson, DA. Avian Influenza. Diseases of Poultry, 11th Ed. Saif,
Y.M. et.al Ed. Iowa State Press, pp. 135-160, 2003.
Infectivity and inactivation of H7N2 avian influenza virus under various environmental conditions
was studied by Lu H, et al. in 2003. The virus in these studies was completely inactivated when
combined with field chicken manure in less than a week at an ambient temperature of 59-58° F. At a pH
2, heating at 132° F, and exposure to 70% ethanol or a commercial disinfectant (DC&R), the avian
influenza virus infectivity was destroyed in less than 30min. Lu, H, Castro, AE, Pennick, K, Liu, J, Yang,
Q, Dunn, P, Weinstock, D, Henzler, D. Survivial of avian influenza virus H7N2 in SPF chickens and
their environments. Av. Dis. 47 (3 Suppl) 1015-21, 2003.
Study of waterfowl epidemiology of avian influenza viruses resulted in finding that temperature,
pH and salinity of water affect the persistence of these viruses in surface water. When temperature alone
was examined, linear regression models predicted a initial concentration of 1 x 106 TCID50/ml water
could remain infective for up to 207 days at 62°F and up to 102 days at 82°F, suggesting these viruses are
adapted to survive in waterfowl wintering habitats. When pH and salinity effects were studied,
persistence was found to be 100 days at 62°F, 0 ppt salinity at pH 8.2 and only 9 days at 82° F, 20 ppt
salinity and a pH of 8.2. Overall, the duration of infectivity decreased with increasing salinity and pH.
