Poultry breeders' dramas from the Nowomiejski poviat. More large herds to kill [MAP OF OCNISK CHOROBY]
February 15, 2023, 14:43
Three more large outbreaks of H5N1 have been detected in poultry farms here in the last 7 days alone. From the beginning of February, there were 4 of them in the Nowomiejski district, while 52 in the whole of Poland.
These farms are quite close to each other. The virus of highly pathogenic avian influenza (mortality is up to 100%) first attacked a duck farm in Gwiździny (Nowe Miasto Lubawskie commune). 18,823 poultry were kept here; the virus was confirmed on February 4.
On February 9, another outbreak was detected - this time in a kennel in Mroczenko (Grodziczno commune). 16,140 ducks were kept here.
In the following days, due to the H5N1 virus, more herds had to be liquidated. On February 11, in Tereszewo (Kurzętnik commune), avian influenza was confirmed in a farm with 15,842 turkeys for slaughter. On February 13, bird flu was detected in Krzemieniewo (also in the Kurzętnik commune). The local flock consisted of 4,765 turkeys.
As you can see, the bird flu virus spreads very easily. That is why biosecurity is so important, which was reminded on Radio Olsztyn by the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship Veterinary Officer Jerzy Koronowski...
