A farm in the county of Bács-Kiskun was once again affected by bird flu
Weeks after the districts were lifted, the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) again confirmed the presence of bird flu in the county of Bács-Kiskun. The animal health authority designated the protection and monitoring districts, and the culling of the affected goose population also began.

Suspicion was raised by the high death rate in the colony of 500 tame geese located in the Szank settlement in the Bács-Kiskun county. The Nébih laboratory finally confirmed the presence of the H5N1 subtype of the virus. Animal health specialists immediately started to liquidate the affected herd. Furthermore, a 3 km radius protection zone and a 10 km radius observation zone were designated around the given farm.
The virus is still present in our country, so it is essential to protect poultry farms from wild birds, persons and devices that spread the disease.
