Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Case in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province… “AI Risk Advisory Issued in Preparation for Cold Wave”
Input 2025.12.02 (19:25)
Revised 2025.12.02 (19:26)
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza has broken out at a farm raising approximately 130,000 laying hens in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters announced today (the 2nd) that after receiving reports of laying hens dying at a farm in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, a thorough examination confirmed the case to be highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1).

This is the seventh case of highly pathogenic avian influenza confirmed at a poultry farm this winter, and the third at a laying hen farm.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters announced that it is conducting epidemiological investigations of approximately 20 farms and facilities where people or vehicles visited the farm, as well as conducting detailed inspections of approximately 20 poultry farms within a 10km radius.

Furthermore, with temperatures expected to drop starting today and snow expected on the 4th, a "Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Risk Alert for Heavy Snow and Cold Waves" has been issued for poultry farms nationwide until the 12th, urging them to adhere to quarantine guidelines, including restricting access to farms and vehicles and preventing freezing of facilities.

Furthermore, the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters announced that it will appoint dedicated officers to conduct weekly inspections at 12 intensive laying hen farms nationwide until the 17th.

Vehicles entering and exiting large laying hen farms with over 100,000 hens will be restricted to only one farm per day, and egg transport vehicles will be prohibited from entering the farms, implementing "epidemiological minimization measures."

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters emphasized the need for thorough quarantine management at the farm level, as December and January are the peak months for highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) confirmed at Yeongam meat duck farm… Comprehensive inspection to be conducted on all duck farms in South Jeolla Province
Input: 2025-12-09 19:28
Revised: 2025-12-09 19:28

Raising over 20,000 meat ducks… 8th case this winter
Comprehensive inspections to be conducted at duck farms operated by the same affiliate and in South Jeolla Province from the 10th to the 19th
A "nationwide intensive disinfection week" will be held until the 16th

The H5 avian influenza (AI) antigen detected at a meat duck farm in Yeongam, South Jeolla Province, has been confirmed to be highly pathogenic. The government has decided to conduct comprehensive inspections of all duck farms in South Jeolla Province, including the affected farm and contract duck farms operated by the same affiliate.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (Director Song Mee-ryeong, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) announced on the 9th that the H5 strain of AI detected at a broiler duck farm in Yeongam the previous day (the 8th) has been confirmed as a highly pathogenic H5N1 strain.

According to the CDC, the farm raises approximately 20,000 broiler ducks. The H5 strain was detected during the pre-slaughter inspection, and a detailed examination revealed it to be highly pathogenic.

This brings the total number of highly pathogenic AI outbreaks at domestic poultry farms for the 2025-2026 winter season to eight, following the outbreak at a native chicken farm in Paju, Gyeonggi Province on September 12th. This is the first case at a domestic broiler duck farm this winter.

Upon confirmation of the H5 strain at the farm on the 8th, the CDC immediately dispatched an initial response team to the farm and initiated quarantine measures, including access control, culling, and an epidemiological investigation. A "Standstill" order was then issued for duck farms, related livestock facilities, and vehicles nationwide. The order will remain in effect for 24 hours, from noon on the 9th to noon on Wednesday the 10th.​..

Submission2025-12-24 20:42
Submitted December 24, 2025 at 8:42 PM
Kim Yun-gu reporter

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yun-gu = The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza announced on the 24th that highly pathogenic avian influenza was confirmed at a farm for laying hens (119,000 birds) in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, a farm for meat ducks (8,000 birds) in Gochang, Jeollabuk-do, and a farm for ducks (6,000 birds) in Naju, Jeollanam-do.

This brings the total number of highly pathogenic AI cases this winter to 21.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters has deployed an initial response team to control entry and exit, and is conducting epidemiological investigations along with culling to prevent further spread.

Additionally, a temporary movement ban was issued for farms, livestock facilities, and livestock vehicles related to the outbreak area and affiliates.

The central government will conduct a comprehensive inspection of all duck farms in North Jeolla Province, including the duck farms under the same affiliate as the Naju Jongori and Gochang meat duck farms.

A director-level official from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will be dispatched to areas with a high risk of additional outbreaks, such as Anseong and Cheonan, where outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza were recently confirmed at laying hen farms.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' Director of Quarantine Policy, Lee Dong-sik, said, "This is a serious situation where three cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza have occurred in different regions in one day," and asked, "Local governments and related organizations should mobilize all available manpower and resources to respond."

He continued, "In North Chungcheong Province and South and North Jeolla Provinces, where outbreaks have recently been confirmed, we ask that you thoroughly implement quarantine management, such as restricting movement and disinfecting, focusing on quarantine areas to prevent the spread to surrounding areas."

Highly pathogenic H5N1 spreads rapidly in Korea, prompting nationwide egg price surge
By
Kwon Oh-eun
Published 2025.12.25. 21:40​

The Central Accident Control Headquarters for highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) said on the 25th that highly pathogenic AI occurred at a farm in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi, that raises 250,000 laying hens.

At laying hen farms, highly pathogenic AI was confirmed for three consecutive days, on the 23rd in Eumseong County, North Chungcheong, and on the 24th in Anseong, Gyeonggi.

The Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency assessed the infectivity and pathogenicity of this highly pathogenic AI virus (serotype H5N1) and found that its infectivity is more than 10 times higher than in previous years. This means that even a small amount of the virus can easily spread highly pathogenic AI.

The Central Accident Control Headquarters will operate a disease control response task force (TF) and dispatch Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Director-level personnel to 11 high-risk areas, including Gyeonggi, South Chungcheong, North Chungcheong, North Jeolla, and Sejong, where additional outbreaks are a concern.​..

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) spreads… Concerns over devastation in Naju and Yeongam
By Yang Si-won, January 4, 2026, 7:53 PM

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI), with an infectiousness more than 10 times higher than usual, is spreading in the Naju and Yeongam regions, densely populated poultry farming areas in South Jeolla Province, causing widespread damage.

According to South Jeolla Province on the 4th, the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency conducted a thorough inspection of a duck farm in Bannam-myeon, Naju, where H5 subtype AI antigens were detected the previous day, and confirmed the presence of H5N1 subtype AI.

This farm, which raises approximately 8,000 ducklings, reported a decline in egg production and an increase in deaths to the quarantine authorities.

South Jeolla Province has seen a total of six cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) this winter.

Following the first outbreak of HPAI at a broiler duck farm in Sijong-myeon, Yeongam on the 8th of last month, the outbreak has continued to spread to a broiler duck farm in Bonghwang-myeon, Naju on the 19th, a broiler duck farm in Donggang-myeon, Naju on the 23rd, a broiler duck farm in Dopo-myeon, Yeongam on the 27th, a laying hen farm in Bonghwang-myeon, Naju on the 29th, and a broiler duck farm in Bannam-myeon, Naju on the 3rd of this month. As of yesterday, a total of 30 cases of HPAI have been reported nationwide.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters conducted an evaluation of the infectivity and pathogenicity of the H5N1 HPAI virus identified in Korea this winter. The results showed that the infectivity was more than 10 times higher than in previous years, raising concerns about further spread.

This is because Yeongam and Naju, where six cases of highly pathogenic AI have occurred, are densely populated poultry farms in South Jeolla Province.

As of the 19th of last month, the number of chickens and ducks raised in South Jeolla Province reached 23,339,000 (339 farms) and 3,873,000 (220 farms), respectively, accounting for 12% and 62% of the national total.

Naju, in particular, boasts the highest number of chickens and ducks among all cities and counties in the province, with 5,428,000 (23% of the total in South Jeolla Province) and 705,000 (18%).

Yeongam also boasts a high concentration of poultry farms, ranking third and fourth in the province with 378,000 ducks (10%) and 2,396,000 chickens (10%), respectively.

The total number of chickens and ducks culled in South Jeolla Province, where six cases of highly pathogenic AI have occurred, has reached approximately 131,000...
