Bird flu hits duck farm Kamperveen
Bird flu was diagnosed at a duck farm in Kamperveen (Overijssel). It is not yet known which variant it concerns. All 30.000 ducks on the farm are culled.
Within a radius of 10 kilometers around the company, a transport ban has been announced on poultry, poultry manure and used litter. The company was also hit by bird flu in 2014 and 2016.
Other companies
The poultry of a company in the area is also culled as a precaution, the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority reports. What should be done with other poultry farms in the area is still being investigated.
About 2 weeks ago there was bird flu detected at a poultry farm in Oldekerk (Groningen). The national curfew is still in effect. This was instituted at the end of 2017, after bird flu was diagnosed at a duck farm in Biddinghuizen (Flevoland).
