Therefore, the Food Administration now advises poultry owners in the area to take additional measures to protect their poultry against the infection.
"The disease suffers a season when it does not usually be in Denmark, so it is a special situation. Therefore, poultry owners need extra care so bird flu does not come into a professional flock or in a hobby flock, "says Stig Mellergaard, Senior Vice President of the Food Agency.
