Bird flu has also appeared in Békés County
The laboratory of the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) has detected the presence of avian influenza virus in Békés County. The eradication of the affected herd and the epidemiological investigation are in progress. The avian influenza virus is practically constantly present in our country, therefore even the smallest deficiency in disease control facilitates the virus’s entry into poultry herds. It is important that livestock keepers comply with disease control regulations!
Avian influenza was suspected due to the increased mortality at a 40,000-head fattening turkey farm in Szarvas, Békés County. The Nébih laboratory detected the H5N1 subtype of the virus in the dead animals.
The eradication of the affected herd and the epidemiological investigation are in progress. A 3 km radius protection zone has been designated around the farm, and an expanded surveillance zone has been established.
Nébih calls on animal keepers to strictly and consistently comply with disease control regulations, because any gap in disease control facilitates the entry of the bird flu virus into poultry flocks.
