THEACMA - sectoral of the Federcaccia that gathers aquatic migratory hunters - has disseminated the managerial device concerning the methods of use of live calls throughout the national territory. The procedures remain almost identical to what has been in place up to now, ie they provide the obligation of traceability of recalls. Based on the provisions of the decree of the Ministry of Health, the operating protocol attached to the device for the use of decoy birds belonging to the orders of the Anseriforms and Charadriforms in hunting.
The Ministry itself, having consulted the National Reference Center for Avian Influenza at theExperimental Zooprophylactic Institute of the Venezie, may modify and / or supplement the device pursuant to the 2018 Implementing Decision (European Union) based on the evolution of epidemiological situation of the pathology. The measures of a previous decision have already been reviewed for some time and adapted to the current situation.
In particular, in 2016 the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) had affirmed how the rigorous application of the biosecurity and risk reduction measures represented the most effective means of preventing the transmission of highly pathogenic viruses (both H5 and H7 subtypes), directly or indirectly from wild birds to farms that keep poultry and captive birds.
