In the non-restricted areas of the counties of Bács-Kiskun, Csongrád-Csanád and Békés, re-stocking, i.e. replacement of stock eradicated due to bird flu infection, may be permitted after a favorable official on-site inspection – without special restrictions. In all cases, the official inspection must cover the inspection of the instructions, waiting times, delivery bans and other restrictions on the price of litter and liquid fertilizer. BTT’s consent is not required to allow reinstallation. After reintroduction, the stock must be placed under official surveillance for 21 days, which includes an on-site inspection by the official veterinarian and a laboratory test before the surveillance is lifted.

The conditions for moving poultry are as follows

• In the areas of Bács-Kiskun, Csongrád-Csanád and Békés counties not affected by restrictions due to avian flu, sampling within 72 hours before transporting waterfowl to the slaughterhouse is mandatory.
– Sampling within 72 hours before transporting waterfowl (with the exception of daylilies) to a new holding place according to the technology (for rearing, stuffing, fattening, breeding, etc.) is mandatory throughout the country in areas that are not subject to restrictions.
• In each case, it is necessary to remove 20 tracheal and 20 cloacal swabs, i.e. sampling 40 animals.
• A favorable result of the above-mentioned tests is a prerequisite for starting the shipment.
– Sampling before the release of captive birds (e.g. pheasants) is not necessary.
