In the Nyírbátor settlement of the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, there is a colony of 114,000 mallard ducks, where tests confirmed the appearance of the H5N1 subtype of the virus. The animal’s lack of appetite and lethargy drew the attention of the animal keeper to the possibility of the disease. The affected stocks are being liquidated. A protection zone with a radius of 3 km was designated around the affected farm, and a surveillance (observation) zone with a radius of 10 km was defined. An epidemiological investigation is underway to reveal the causes of the appearance of the disease.
This case also shows that the bird flu virus can appear in any area of the country
For this reason, extra caution and strict adherence to epidemic prevention regulations are of particular importance. Animal keepers must do everything possible to ensure that their animals do not come into direct or indirect contact with wild birds. In areas of the country identified as high risk, it is still mandatory to keep poultry kept for commercial purposes closed. Feed and bedding material must be stored covered in all poultry farms in the country, avoiding access by animals of foreign species. In accordance with epidemic prevention regulations, extra care must be taken with all movement of people and vehicles on poultry farms.
