THE HAGUE, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- The Netherlands has ordered the culling of around 120,000 chickens at a poultry farm in the northern province of Friesland after a highly pathogenic strain of bird flu was detected, the agriculture ministry announced on Friday night.

To prevent further spread of the virus, the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) will cull all birds at the site in the village of Drogeham.

A transport ban has been imposed immediately within a 10-km radius region, covering the movement of poultry, eggs, manure, and used bedding.

Another poultry farm located 1 km from the infected site is being tested for bird flu and will be intensively monitored for 14 days, while three other farms within 3 km are being screened, according to the statement

The outbreak comes as the Netherlands had already imposed a national housing order for poultry since Oct. 16, requiring all commercial farms to keep birds indoors and non-commercial owners to take measures to prevent contact with wild birds.

Bird flu has been detected in the Kristalbad water retention area, between Enschede and Hengelo, according to the Vechtstromen Water Board.

The bird flu virus is present in several locations in Twente. Because these are popular hiking areas, especially for people with dogs, the water board is urging extra vigilance.

The water board advises keeping a distance from birds and not touching dead or sick animals. It is also advised to keep dogs on a leash and avoid contact with water. Dead birds can be reported to the water board.

Bornerbroek

According to the RIVM's bird flu map,the outbreak involves greylag geese, which were found this month. Two years ago, bird flu was also detected in the Kristalbad.

Over the past two months, avian influenza was also detected at two poultry farms in Bornerbroek. This resulted in the culling of 18,000 animals in November and over 70,000 earlier this week.

For this reason, a transport ban has been imposed within a ten-kilometer radius of Bornerbroek. Poultry may not be transported within this zone. There are 33 other poultry farms in the area.
