The viral disease that killed thousands of ducklings of the Muscovy breed earlier this year is still to be determined despite numerous tests carried out on samples sent to the Cornell University Duck Research Laboratory in United States.
Chairman of the Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA) Board Peter de Groot told this newspaper that to date they have not been able to get a definitive reading from the samples.
Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the GLDA Dr Dwight Waldron had said the testing process is lengthy, particularly since the illness that affected the ducklings remains a mystery.
