The H5N1 subtype of the bird flu virus was detected by the Nébih laboratory in Füzesgyarmat in Békés county. The decrease in feed and water consumption, nervous system symptoms and increased mortality in the duck colony, which has approximately 25,000 ducks, aroused suspicion among the livestock keepers.

The liquidation of the affected stock is in progress

The mallards of two other farms with an epidemiological connection to the colony are also killed. The authority designated a protection zone with a radius of 3 km and a surveillance (observation) zone with a radius of 10 km around the farm.

As the above case proves, the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus can reappear at any time

It is in the common interest of the sector, consumers and the authorities that the disease does not spread further. The discipline of livestock keepers greatly influences how serious the epidemic becomes. That is why Nébih continues to ask livestock keepers to consistently and strictly observe the epidemic prevention regulations.
