-Why did you come to purchase Hyper Crow Shield?Sakai: Just two years ago, an outbreak of avian influenza broke out on about 50 farms across Japan, and about 10 million egg-laying hens and chickens for meat were killed.“As conventional measures against crows, we used to place scarecrows and CD’s. Even if the crows don’t come around because of these, they are smart, so once they get used to them, the effect will wear off and they may come back. On the other hand, the reflected light from this crow shield is so dazzling to the crows that they don’t want to see Usually, avian influenza is spread to chickens by migra-tory birds carrying the virus. At this time, we had the impres-sion that outbreaks were occurring all over the country, and we were horrified by this situation, desperately searching for repellent.-I think you mean from a strong sense of urgency.Sakai: Yes. In partic-ular, that year there was also an outbreak at a large farm with “windowless chicken coops,” which have no windows and are highly sealed, and which have been said to be effective in pre-venting avian influen-za. I do not know the it anymore and feel uncomfortable’, so crows won’t come close, as long as you keep installing them. It depends on the installation environment, but the repellent effect lasts for about half a year.”specific cause of the outbreak at that farm, and perhaps there were other factors besides the chicken coop, but the fact that it occurred at a farm that generally has state-of-the-art facili-ties and is considered to have high biosecurity was a source of considerable fear. I knew that the measures we had taken so far were not going to work.The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan(MAFF) and others had issued a notice saying, “Do not let crows into the farm,” or “Beware of migratory birds,” but what kind of countermeasures can we take against those flying birds? If it is a repellent for rats, it is readily available, but it is impossible to partition the empty space, so I was wondering what to do when I heard about this Hyper Crow Shield on SNS.Actually, I have known President Kato of HATAMOTO PRINTING for a long time. But I thought his company was just a printing company, so I had no idea that he was mak-We interviewed Mr. Toshio Sakai, president of SAKAI FARMS, a poultry farmer in Kuriyama-cho, Hokkaido, about how the Hyper Crow Shield was introduced and its effectiveness.50Example of installation at Sakai FarmMarine Savonin emitting light (taken with a special camera)President Toshio SakaiCrows ‘unaccustomed’ to ultraviolet light emissionAnother feature of the Crow Shield is its long-lasting repel-lent effect, says Kato.Contributes to bird flu countermeasures, great crow repellent effect, and labor saving~Using the Hyper Crow Shield, we asked Sakai Farms in Hokkaido, Japan~
