Cases of avian influenza in a duck farm in Leg?
Updated on the 08/03/2018
Cases of avian influenza in a duck farm in Leg?: the herd has been slaughtered and measures to disinfect the farm will begin.
To prevent the spread of avian influenza virus between farms, a plan for the detection of any movement of waterfowl has been put in place by the Directorate General for Food (Ministry of Agriculture and Food). As part of this self-monitoring, the presence of an avian influenza virus H5 gene in a breeding of 16600 ducks in Lege was highlighted. Preventive measures have been taken to prevent the spread of the virus to other farms. A zone of temporary restriction of poultry movements was set up by the prefect of Loire-Atlantique within a radius of 1 km around the farm which includes part of the communes of Leg? and Corcou? sur Logne. Two poultry farms are also present in this area. This restriction may be lifted 21 days after slaughter if no other suspicion is detected in this area. The slaughter of the herd took place on March 7, 2018 and the disinfection measures of the breeding will begin. This outbreak is unrelated to epizootics caused by the highly pathogenic H5N1 and H5N8 viruses that plagued in 2016 and 2017 in southwestern France and other European countries. The identification of this virus, without threat to humans, is not exceptional and its circulation is known. The highlighting of this virus recalls the importance of the strict application of biosecurity measures in animal production, and in particular at the levels of animal husbandry and animal transport.
