2 new poultry infections in Courcelles and Tournai

Temporary buffer zone lifted in Wellin

(6/23/2017)

The highly pathogenic H5N8 avian influenza virus was again found in two particular breeding farms in Tournai and Courcelles. Since 1 June, the virus has been highlighted at 11 locations in Belgium. The FASFC once again asks anyone who has recently bought poultry in a market to be vigilant.

The temporary buffer zone of Wellin that was set up 3 weeks ago after the discovery of the H5N8 virus is now lifted. The specific measures related to this zone are therefore no longer applicable.

Agriculture Minister Willy Borsus said: "The situation is still worrying and biosecurity remains paramount in order to avoid impacting professional breeders. I recall that it is imperative in the present health context to call on a veterinarian if poultry are sick or die suddenly. "

Temporary buffer zones of a radius of 3 km were delineated around these 2 new cases in Tournai and Courcelles. In these areas, movements of poultry, other captive birds and hatching eggs are prohibited. All captive birds and poultry must be fed and watered inside. Holders of birds and poultry from these areas must send to their burgomaster, within 48 hours, an inventory listing, by species, the number of animals present. These areas will be maintained for at least 3 weeks.

The FASFC also reminds each keeper to be vigilant and immediately call a veterinarian if his birds show symptoms of disease.
Abnormal mortality in wild birds can always be reported via the toll-free number 0800/99777.

We can reassure the consumer that meat and poultry eggs are wholesome and can be safely eaten.

All the measures can be consulted on the FASFC website:
