Netherlands: About 216.000 poultry will be killed by bird flu

About 170.000 poultry will be killed after authorities found a highly contagious bird flu strain on a farm in the Netherlands, the country's agriculture ministry said today.

Farms near the farm in North Holland County will be shut down until the H5N1 strain of the virus is tested to see if it has spread, the ministry said.

At the same time, another outbreak of bird flu was announced by the ministry, this on a farm in the southern province of North Brabant, the Ministry of Agriculture states in a separate announcement.

About 46.000 broilers will be killed there, he added.

Hundreds of thousands of chickens, ducks, turkeys and dozens of wild birds have been killed in the Netherlands following various outbreaks in 2021.
