The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority will proceed to destroy all of the farm’s 42,700 turkeys this very Sunday.
A transport ban for poultry, eggs
and poultry dung with a three kilometre radius around the farm has been in force since midnight on Saturday. There are some 25 poultry farms in the area.
Bird flu is an extremely contagious disease that can be transmitted not just to poultry but to other bird species as well. In extremely rare cases humans too can be infected with the virus. Last year there were several bird flu outbreaks across the country, most of them in Gelderland, Zeeland and Flevoland.
