22 chickens on Lolland affected by bird flu
17-02-2026
Press release Professional news for veterinarians Bird flu Birds
Hobby flock of 22 chickens on Lolland infected with bird flu. The Danish Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Agency is euthanizing the birds today.
A small hobby chicken flock near Bandholm on Lolland has been affected by bird flu, according to tests from the Statens Serum Institut.
'Chickens get very sick and typically die quickly from bird flu. For animal welfare reasons and to reduce the infection pressure, we will euthanize the birds later today,' explains Chief Veterinary Officer Bente Holst from the Danish Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Agency. Bird flu only very rarely infects humans.
The Agency has now established a protection zone within a 3 km radius and a surveillance zone within a 10 km radius around the infected herd. All poultry farms within the 3 km zone must report to landbruksindberetning.dk. In both zones, stricter requirements now apply to all poultry owners, which means, among other things, that they are not allowed to move poultry, eggs or poultry products into or out of the zone without special permission from the Agency. The restrictions are intended to help limit the risk of infection.
'There is still a high level of infection among wild birds. We therefore continue to urge all poultry owners to ensure and protect their birds as best as possible, both by covering feed and water and by changing clothes and footwear before entering the chicken coop,' says Bente Holst.
If you are a bird owner and see high mortality or breathing problems in your birds, it may be a sign of avian influenza. In this case, you have a duty to contact a veterinarian.

Pheasant herd near Holbæk affected by bird flu
19-02-2026
Press release Bird flu Birds
The Danish Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Agency is killing 800 pheasants in a herd at Tornved near Holbæk after bird flu was found among the animals.
Tests from the Statens Serum Institut showed on Thursday that a pheasant herd in Jyderup near Holbæk is affected by bird flu. Bird flu rarely infects humans, but to limit the risk of spreading the infection to other birds and for animal welfare reasons, the agency will euthanize the animals on Friday. The euthanization is taking place in collaboration with the Danish Emergency Management Agency.
Since January 1, the animal disease has been found in three flocks. Last year, 14 flocks of birds were affected by bird flu, and more than 300,000 animals were culled.
'We are experiencing a very high infection pressure with avian influenza in wild birds in Denmark this season, and the infection is affecting both large and small flocks. So we would like to repeat the call for everyone who keeps poultry and birds to focus on infection protection and, among other things, change footwear before going near their animals. In addition, it must be ensured that wild birds cannot gain access to the animals, their water and feed,' says Henriette M. Hansen, section manager at the Danish Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Agency.
The Agency has now established a protection zone within a 3 km radius and a surveillance zone within a 10 km radius around the infected herd. Bird and poultry owners located within the zones must register their herd at landbruksindberetning.dk. In both zones, stricter requirements now apply to all poultry owners, which means, among other things, that they are not allowed to move poultry, eggs or poultry products into or out of the zone without special permission from the Agency.

Bird flu in a herd of 115,000 chickens in Herlufmagle
21-02-2026
Press release Bird flu Birds
Samples analyzed at the Statens Serum Institut showed on Friday that there is bird flu in a large chicken flock with 115,000 egg-laying hens at Herlufmagle, north of Næstved.
The Danish Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Agency will begin culling the many poultry on Saturday.
The Danish Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Agency has now established a protection zone in a 3 km radius and a surveillance zone in a 10 km radius around the infected herd.
In the interests of animal welfare, and to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to other birds, the infected flock will be euthanized on Saturday by the Danish Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Agency. The euthanization will be carried out in collaboration with the Emergency Management Agency. Avian influenza only rarely infects humans.
'We are experiencing a very high infection pressure with avian influenza in wild birds in Denmark this season, and the infection is affecting both large and small flocks. As late as Thursday, we had to cull 800 pheasants in a smaller flock, and now we are moving out on a very large scale this weekend,' says Henriette M. Hansen, section manager at the Danish Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Agency.
The board encourages everyone who keeps poultry and birds to focus on infection protection and, among other things, change footwear before approaching their animals. In addition, it is important to ensure that wild birds cannot access the animals or their water and feed. Due to the high infection rate in wild birds, sick and weakened birds can be found in the wild. The board encourages people not to touch sick birds or take them home.
The Agency has now established a protection zone within a 3 km radius and a surveillance zone within a 10 km radius around the infected herd. Bird and poultry owners located within the zones must register their herd at landbruksindberetning.dk.
