Netherlands - Low Path Avian Flu in 80 Swans

Gert van der Hoek

In Memoriam - Editor, Senior Moderator
Low pathogenic avian influenza was detected in 80 swans according to the Ministry of Agriculture.

The swans were kept for export, they were kept in the wild; according to regulations these birds are not considered to be "poultry".

For that reason and because there are no poultryfarms nearby, it was decided not to cull. A transportban is installed in a 1 km zone.



Zwanen in Zuidwolde besmet met vogelgriep

ANP/Redactie − 15/09/11

Bij een bedrijf dat in vogels handelt, in het Drentse dorp Zuidwolde, is een milde variant van de vogelgriep vastgesteld. Ruim 80 zwanen die bestemd waren voor de export zijn aangestoken.

Zo meldt het ministerie van Economische Zaken, Landbouw en Innovatie vandaag.

De zwanen worden in het wild gehouden. De milde variant van de vogelgriep komt vrij algemeen voor bij in het wild levende vogels, lichtte het ministerie toe.

Volgens Europese regels hoeven dieren die niet onder de definitie pluimvee vallen, niet geruimd te worden. Omdat het bedrijf in een gebied ligt waar geen pluimveebedrijven zijn, is besloten de dieren op het bedrijf gecontroleerd te laten uitzieken.
