About 21,000 animals are being culled to prevent the virus from spreading. The clearance is carried out by the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA).
On Thursday there was also an infection in Zeewolde at another company less than 3 kilometers away. Then 10,000 animals had to be euthanized. Bird flu was also detected here last week at another poultry farm in Zeewolde. Then the Ministry of LNV announced a national confinement obligation.
Around the company affected on Thursday, a transport ban applies to poultry companies within a zone of 10 kilometers. That remains in effect. The transport ban applies to all birds and table eggs. There is also a hunting ban.
