The bird flu virus has reappeared in wild birds
The laboratory of the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) detected the H5N1 subtype of the highly pathogenic bird flu virus from dead summer geese in the counties of Hajdú-Bihar and Fejér. Due to the reappearance of the virus, the authority emphasizes the importance of strict and consistent adherence to epidemic prevention measures.
The Nébih laboratory detected the highly pathogenic avian influenza from dead summer geese in two counties of Hajdú-Bihar and one in Fejér. It can also be seen from this that the virus can appear anywhere in the country through the mediation of wild birds, so epidemiological discipline is still of paramount importance throughout the country.
Nébih draws the attention of pet owners to the fact that everything must be done to prevent another bird flu epidemic
The national chief veterinarian’s decision of 3/2017 on the minimum conditions for epidemic prevention is still in force. Compliance with what is described in it is mandatory for all poultry farmers. According to this, the poultry must be fed and watered in a closed place, and the feed and materials used for animal bedding must also be stored in a closed place. In order to avoid the spread of the virus from wild birds to poultry, it is of utmost importance to minimize the possibility of meeting poultry and wild birds.
