Bird flu has also appeared in Békés County
The laboratory of the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) has detected the presence of the bird flu virus in Békés County. The eradication of the affected herd and the epidemiological investigation are in progress. The bird flu virus is practically constantly present in our country, therefore even the smallest deficiency in epidemic control facilitates the entry of the virus into poultry herds. It is important that livestock keepers comply with the epidemic control regulations!

The suspicion of bird flu arose due to the increased mortality on the 40,000-head fattening turkey farm in the Szarvas settlement of 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 avian influenza virus into poultry flocks.
