Bird flu has also been newly confirmed in the Pilsen region. The new focus is located in small poultry farming in Ždírec near Blovice in the Plzeň-jih district.
The breeder reported the death of five ducks and 12 laying hens. The State Veterinary Administration informed about it on Wednesday, December 1.
"Poultry before death showed symptoms typical of bird flu, similar symptoms in some living birds. There were originally about 120 poultry in the breeding. The JRC carried out on-the-spot investigations, took samples, took preliminary measures and sent them to the State Veterinary Institute for examination. Avian influenza of the H5N1 subtype was confirmed here, and the pathogenicity of the virus is currently awaited. The remaining poultry in the breeding was killed today, "said veterinarians. They added that, in view of the identified pathogenicity of the virus, a protection and surveillance zone would subsequently be demarcated around the outbreak and emergency veterinary measures would be taken.
The H5N1 bird flu was also newly confirmed in eight dead herons found at the Heřmanický pond in the Českolipsko region.
