Avian influenza detected on a small poultry farm in the Czech Republic
Author: Sebastian Wroniewski 2022-03-15 11:00:00
Avian influenza was detected in a small poultry farm in Přišimasy-Skřivany in the Kolín region. This is the ninth outbreak of the virus confirmed this year in the Czech Republic.
There were 184 poultry in the farm, and all the birds were slaughtered in accordance with the veterinary protocol, said Petr Majer from the State Veterinary Administration. The farm bred geese, chickens, quails, turkeys and ducks. A study at the State Veterinary Institute in Prague confirmed the highly pathogenic H5N1 variant.
Avian flu attacks Czech poultry farms
A month ago, veterinarians from the Kolín region discovered an outbreak of bird flu in Masojed. They discovered new cases during inspections and sampling at farms in the protection zone around the outbreak. Geese, chickens, quails, turkeys and ducks were bred in Přišimasy-Skřivany. A study at the State Veterinary Institute in Prague confirmed the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza.
“All poultry were slaughtered in accordance with the regulations. Excluded zones have been designated, which partially overlap with the zones around the Masojed fire, and emergency veterinary measures have been announced in them, ”said Majer.
Avian influenza is a viral disease in animals, especially birds, but has also occurred in pigs, dogs and cats. Among wild birds, the most common attacks are swans and mallards, which have been carriers for several centuries, and the virus is not as dangerous for them as it is for poultry. Avian influenza is caused by influenza A viruses. A particularly dangerous virus subtype is H5N1.

In the Czech Republic, there were two outbreaks of bird flu at the weekend
3 hours ago
In the Central Bohemia and South Bohemia regions, two outbreaks of bird flu were added over the weekend. These are small farms in Hrusice near Prague and in Ponědraž in Jindřichohradeck. Examination of the collected samples confirmed that it was avian influenza of the H5N1 subtype. Petr Majer, the deputy spokesman of the State Veterinary Administration, told ČTK today.
Bird flu was confirmed today in another small poultry farm in Hrusice near Prague. "This is already the third farm affected by the disease in the same village," said Majer. A poultry farmer reported the death of seven out of 25 laying hens on Saturday. In addition to them, he has two geese and 14 ducks. "The surviving birds had diarrhea, respiratory difficulties and were apathetic," added the deputy spokesman. Since the examination confirmed the bird flu infection, the veterinarians will cull the remaining poultry.
The farm in Ponědraž is in a three-kilometer protection zone of the previously reported outbreak in Frahelž, where veterinarians eliminated 15,000 ducks from the Mavela Dynín farm due to bird flu at the beginning of the week. It was the largest outbreak of infection ever seen in the South Bohemian Region. Originally, there were more than sixty poultry in the farm in Ponědraž, mainly hens and roosters, but also several ducks. According to him, the breeder noticed an increase in the death of hens and signs of disease in live chickens, and reported the situation to veterinarians. In this case too, the infection was confirmed. This was followed by culling the remaining poultry. Closed zones were defined around the outbreak and veterinary measures were taken in them.
Bird flu is a viral disease of animals, especially birds, but it has also occurred in pigs, dogs and cats. Among wild birds, it most often affects swans and wild ducks, which have been carriers of the disease for several centuries and the virus is not as dangerous for them as it is for poultry. Bird flu, which was already known in the 19th century under the name bird plague, is caused by influenza viruses of type A. A particularly dangerous subtype of the virus is designated H5N1.

Veterinarians told journalists today.

Bird flu has been confirmed in a small farm in Žďársk, it is the seventh outbreak in the Czech Republic
Updated: 12/16/2022 11:14 AM Issued: 12/16/2022 10:58 AM
Rovečné (Žďársko) - Veterinarians discovered a new outbreak of bird flu in a small farm in the village of Rovečné in Žďársko. The breeder had 15 hens and seven ducks, 15 poultry died, the rest will be euthanized. The State Veterinary Institute in Prague has confirmed the occurrence of H5N1 bird flu from the samples taken, the determination of pathogenicity is currently pending, Petr Vorlíček, spokesman for the State Veterinary Administration (SVS), told ČTK today. This is the seventh outbreak of bird flu that has appeared in the Czech Republic since the beginning of this month.
"Because the breeder noticed an increased death of poultry, which also showed symptoms of the disease, he reported this fact to the SVS," said the spokesperson. Veterinary inspectors at the farm took samples and sent them for examination. According to the spokesperson, there will be closed zones around the outbreak and extraordinary veterinary measures will be taken in them.
Seven outbreaks of bird flu have been confirmed in the Czech Republic since the beginning of December this year. In all previous cases, it was a highly pathogenic variant of the H5N1 subtype, which can potentially be transmissible to humans, SVS said. Four of the outbreaks are in the Central Bohemian Region and two in the South Bohemian Region. Five were in small-scale poultry farms and one in a large-scale duck farm for fattening in Frahelž in Jindřichohradecky, where 15,000 ducks were killed due to the infection on December 5.
In the Czech Republic, outdoor poultry farming has been banned since Wednesday. Breeders must therefore place their birds in buildings. An exception is for breeders of runners, such as ostriches, and pigeons. If permanent relocation of birds to a building is not possible, breeders must limit the contact of their poultry with wild birds as much as possible. Violations of these extraordinary measures are subject to heavy fines. For natural persons, the penalty can be up to 100,000 crowns and for legal entities, i.e. companies, up to two million.

Since the beginning of December this year, eight outbreaks of the disease have been confirmed in the Czech Republic, seven in small-scale poultry farms and one in a large-scale duck farm for fattening. In all cases, it was a highly pathogenic variant of the H5N1 subtype, which can potentially be transmissible to humans.
The first was the outbreak in Frahelž in Jindřichohradecky, where 7,000 ducks gradually died and another 15,000 had to be euthanized. The source of infection was wild waterfowl...

Bird flu has been confirmed in the Czech Republic.
Source: TASR - Oliver Ondráš
Bird flu was confirmed on December 30 in a chicken farm in Brod nad Tichou in the Tachov district. The company Česká drůbež s.r.o. keeps 742,000 laying hens in three halls. Today, the State Veterinary Administration (ŠVS) confirmed an infection of the H5N1 subtype, which is potentially transmissible to humans.
The pathogenicity of the virus is currently being determined, SVS spokesman Petr Majer told ČTK. The culling of poultry will probably begin after the weekend.
"The reason for taking the samples and starting the investigation by the veterinary inspectors was the fact that the breeder, in cooperation with a private veterinarian, reported a sudden increased death of poultry in one of the three halls," said Majer. The farm immediately took precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the disease. SVS, in cooperation with the fire department, is preparing to kill the poultry. Closed zones will be defined around the outbreak, where special veterinary measures will be taken, Majer added.
The outbreak of infection in the Tachov region is the nineteenth this year and the ninth since the beginning of December. In the Czech Republic, a ban on outdoor poultry farming has been in effect since December 14 due to the growing number of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Veterinarians discovered an outbreak of bird flu in Mladoleslavsk, this time in a small farm
31 minutes ago
Veterinarians discovered the sixth outbreak of bird flu this year in a small poultry farm in Týnec near Dobrovice in the Mladoboleslav region. There were six hens in the farm. Two died and the rest were euthanized by veterinarians. Protection zones will be defined around the outbreak and special veterinary measures will be issued in them.
"The breeder reported the death of two chickens out of six to the regional veterinary administration. Veterinary inspectors took samples on the spot and sent them to the State Veterinary Institute in Prague for examination, which subsequently confirmed bird flu of the H5N1 subtype. The remaining poultry was euthanized," noted the spokesman of the State Veterinary Administration, Petr Vorlíček.
Due to the spread of bird flu, the State Veterinary Administration has banned outdoor poultry breeding in the whole of the Czech Republic since December 14 last year. Breeders must therefore place the birds in buildings. An exception is for breeders of pigeons and runners, such as ostriches. If permanent relocation of birds to a building is not possible, keepers must limit the contact of poultry with wild birds as much as possible. 20 outbreaks of infection appeared in the Czech Republic last year...

Czech Republic hit hard by bird flu
01/10/2023
The Czech Republic is hit by an epidemic of bird flu: with hundreds of thousands of hens slaughtered, the country expects a significant rise in the price of eggs while inflation has already been breaking records for several months.
There has certainly been a lot of talk about birds lately in the Czech news ... on Monday, a new outbreak of avian flu was detected in a small farm in the Mladá Boleslav region, the sixth already, since the beginning of the year 2023, while for the month of December alone, ten outbreaks had been reported.
Last Wednesday, a large farm located in Brod nad Tichou announced that it was going to have to slaughter 750,000 hens. To date, more than 500 tons of poultry have been evacuated by firefighters and livestock workers, which is part of more than a dozen farms affected by the disease in recent weeks. According to the Czech-Moravian Union of Poultry Breeders, with a production of 600,000 eggs per day, or 18.5 million eggs put on the market every month, breeding accounts for 15% of all hens raised in Czechia. Becoming the biggest outbreak of bird flu in the country is therefore a blow for the company.
Some 2,500 outbreaks of avian flu have been recorded in farms in 37 European countries from October 2021 to September 2022. Since last autumn, the resurgence of cases in the Czech Republic has been taken very seriously by the Czech veterinary authorities, who have decided in mid-December, to prohibit the raising of poultry in the open air is prohibited throughout the territory. This measure decided by the State Veterinary Administration had been motivated by the increasing number of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza. Veterinarians have ordered poultry farmers, except for running birds and pigeons, to confine their birds indoors and, where this is not possible, to limit contact between poultry as much as possible. livestock and wild birds.
The avian flu epizootic is the "most devastating" that Europe has known in its entire history according to European health authorities, and the highly pathogenic virus of the H5N1 subtype is spreading at breakneck speed in the Czech Republic. Several reasons can explain this deadly season for poultry, according to Helena Chaloupková, of the University of Agriculture:
“It's a complicated question because the situation is a bit exceptional. I am not an expert in epidemiology, but in any case, the conditions this winter may be favorable for such a virus to spread well. The second problem is the concentration of animals. Because if a disease arrives on a farm where there is a huge population of animals, it is of course very likely that it will start to spread. The question then is how, what options does the farm have to defend against this. In the last two years, however, we have had a good idea of what viruses can do. In some ways, even though we have protected ourselves in different ways, it is a challenge. Viruses are and will always be there, and the greater the populations of animals of the same species in an area, the more likely it is to happen again if conditions are favorable for the virus. »
As a result of avian flu and the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of hens in the Czech Republic, the price of eggs is likely to increase according to the president of the poultry farmers' union, Gabriela Dlouhá, even if she says she does not expect so much at astronomical prices. In any case, importing eggs may be an option in the future:
“In general, most eggs are imported into the Czech Republic from Poland and the Netherlands. But with the epidemics in these countries and the ongoing war in Ukraine, countries are also focusing on exports to Ukraine. It will depend on the prices offered by traders and, of course, the country that offers the most will get the eggs. I wouldn't worry about a possible shortage of eggs. If 15% of the production decreases, the eggs will have to be imported from abroad, but at a higher price on the other hand. »
Currently, no effective and authorized vaccine exists in the European Union, likely to stem this epizootic. Five European countries are in the race to try to make one, including France and Hungary.
