    Bird flu in poultry farm in Swifterbant

    In a poultry farm in Swifterbant in the province of Flevoland , on 27 February
    2014 an outbreak of bird flu ( Avian Influenza , AI ) of the H5 variant
    has been detected.


    It is probably low pathogenic avian influenza ( LPAI ) .

    The company has a poultry house with two sections , one with a
    spout . At the company's more than 40,000 laying hens . Sit

    Measures infected farm , restricted and screening

    Mild H5 variant has to be fought mandatory. The chickens of the farm will therefore as soon as possible , if possible today , be culled . A
    restricted zone with a radius of one kilometer around the infected farm
    is established . When setting of the restricted zone is based on
    natural boundaries such as roads . Within the area are no other
    poultry farms .

    Within the restricted zone are the standard measures of force, which always
    be established by an infection with LPAI . There is a movement ban
    for poultry , eggs, poultry manure and used bedding . the restricted
    and the associated measures are in principle 21 days after
    preliminary disinfection be lifted .
