Bird flu on animal pasture in Vleuten, animals culled | Inland

There are no other poultry farms in the 10 kilometer zone around this company. Minister Carola Schouten (Agriculture) has immediately announced a transport ban in a zone of 10 kilometers around the Vleuten company. A transport ban concerns poultry, eggs, poultry manure and used litter, but also other animals and animal products from farms with reared poultry.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), this is a highly pathogenic variant of bird flu. This leads to serious illness or the death of (water) birds.

Since the introduction of the Animal Health Regulation, it has been mandatory under European regulations that measures are also taken, such as establishing a restricted zone, even if there is an infection with highly pathogenic bird flu at locations with more than fifty birds.

National measures, such as the confinement obligation for commercially reared poultry, are still in force.
