New zoning regulations aimed at controlling bird flu will be implemented in 
Saraburi next month. The zoning will classify places where chickens, ducks, 
geese and other birds are raised for eggs, for meat, for sport and as pets. After 
the pilot project is implemented in Saraburi it will be applied nation-wide. 
The zoning rules are intended to keep bird-raising sites safe from disease, 
deputy Agriculture Minister Newin Chidchob said yesterday at a seminar on the 
zoning plan. Academics, chicken farmers, exporters and health officials 
attended the seminar. 
Newin said that owners of pet birds and fighting cocks would have to register 
their pets. "Fighting cocks would have microchips implanted and their breed 
would be identified," he said.
