In the Cuxhaven district, a weakly pathogenic variant of avian influenza (LPAI) has been confirmed in the Wurster North Sea Coast community since the weekend. The NGW office reports that around 40,000 parent animals are affected.
After the LVI state laboratory had initially confirmed the AI-H5 virus, the pathogenicity was determined in the FLI reference laboratory. N1 could be excluded. The FLI is investigating which weakly pathogenic AI virus variant it is.
The killing and evacuation of the animal population was ordered. The district will set up an exclusion zone around the business. Since this is LPAI, we don't yet have any information about the size of the radius. The corresponding general order is being prepared by the district.
Please note the information, general orders and applications from the Cuxhaven district that will soon be posted online.
Due to the wild bird migration that is currently taking place, it can be seen again and again that sometimes large flocks stay in corn stubble fields, among other things, near poultry houses to take a break and graze. We would like to remind all poultry farmers to strictly adhere to biosecurity measures and hygiene rules. The avian influenza virus is not only spread by migratory birds, but is also present in domestic wild bird populations and can therefore pose a threat to our livestock.
