At the same time, Nébih once again drew attention to the need to fully comply with epidemiological regulations. Bird flu was confirmed by the Nébih laboratory in a goose farm in Tiszaföldvár, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County, with approximately 17,660 individuals. The presence of the disease was noted by the slightly increased mortality and nervous system symptoms. The H5N1 subtype of the virus was detected in the samples taken immediately. The authority has designated a 3-kilometer protection zone and an extended surveillance zone around the farm. The eradication of the herd and the epidemiological investigation are currently underway, the statement highlighted.

The statement states: preventing the onset and further spread of the disease is crucial for the entire poultry sector

It is essential to fully comply with disease control measures on livestock farms. Furthermore, it is important to prevent cross-infection from wild birds, to be vigilant among livestock keepers and veterinarians, and to send samples quickly in case of suspicion and to comply with the usual protocols in such cases, the Nébih drew attention to.
