    In Grouchermer (Alkmaar municipality, North Holland province) avian influenza (H5) was diagnosed on a poultry farm with broilers. It is likely to be a highly contagious type of bird flu. To prevent the spread of the virus, the company is being excluded. This concerns about 107,000 animals. The certification is carried out by the Dutch Consumer Product and Food Safety Authority (NVWA).

    Another poultry farm is located within a radius of one kilometer around the company. This company has been banned and is extensively monitored and investigated for bird flu. Since there was no other commercial poultry farm in the 10 km area around the affected farm (and the adjacent farm) in Grouchermer, it was decided not to preemptive evacuation, but to prevent and monitor this farm.
