          H5N8 Avian influenza spreads in Poland

          The H5N8 virus in Poland continues to spread to large poultry farms, most recently to a stall with 36,000 hens. Experts expect the poultry fatteners to have significant economic consequences

          02/04/2020

          Avian influenza type H5N8 continues to spread in Poland. The responsible veterinary authority confirmed the eighth outbreak in the Greater Poland Voivodeship last week. This is a farm with a total of 36,000 chickens.

          As part of the prescribed epidemic protection measures, the usual danger zones in 3 km and 7 km around the company were identified. In addition, the stock was culled immediately, the authority said.

          At the beginning of the week, an epidemic in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship caused a sensation. Almost 23,500 turkeys were affected by the first case in the region in three years. Although the avian influenza has occurred in very different parts of the country in recent weeks, the epidemic was concentrated in Greater Poland. On December 31 of last year, the first current case in a chicken business with 65,000 animals was confirmed almost simultaneously with an outbreak in Lublin.

          The epidemic is likely to have significant economic consequences for Polish poultry fatteners, especially since around half of the annual poultry meat production is destined for export. In the past few years, the export business had grown strongly, placing Poland as the first poultry producer in the European Union. The business was driven in particular by high demand from China and South Africa, so that any further restrictions on imports from these countries would leave correspondingly strong marks on the balance sheet.

          In recent weeks, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Africa, Japan, China, South Korea, Ukraine and Belarus have restricted the import of poultry from Poland.

          Das Virus H5N8 springt in Polen immer weiter auf gro?e Gefl?gelbetriebe ?ber, zuletzt auf einen Stall mit 36.000 Hennen. Experten rechnen mit erheblichen wirtschaftlichen Folgen f?r die Gefl?gelm?ster

              Avian flu near Legionowo. Confirmed case on Lake Wieliszewskie
              The veterinary inspectorate urges walking residents to report cases of dead water birds and birds of prey.
              February 19, 2021

              The district veterinarian informed about the case of avian flu in the Legionowo district. The H5N8 virus was detected in the body of a dead swan found on Lake Wieliszewskie. H5N8 is harmless to humans but dangerous to birds. The only known way to fight the virus is to kill infected animals and dispose of their remains. - It is recommended to limit the movement of people in the vicinity of the Wieliszewskie Lake (especially with dogs) in order to limit scaring birds - we read in the release. - It is probable that further falls of birds will occur in and around the lake. Fallen birds should be collected by municipal services and disposed of.

                Krasne Potockie. Another outbreak of bird flu. The poultry was disposed of since dawn
                Another outbreak of avian flu was found in our region. This time in Krasne Potock in the Che?miec commune. Today, the gassing of sick animals continued from dawn. - Please be especially careful and follow all the guidelines of the District Veterinary Doctor in Nowy S?cz - are appealing the representatives of the local government of Che?mno.

                The first two outbreaks of pathogenic bird disease were detected on March 20 in Bielanka (Gorlice commune). Six thousand laying hens and over ten thousand turkeys for slaughter were finally gassed there. It was the first recorded case of avian influenza in Ma?opolska, which we wrote about -> here.
