No other avian influenza cases reported in Schleswig-Holstein
Kiel – After the outbreak of avian influenza in two goose fattening farms in the Schleswig-Flensburg district, no further cases were initially reported in this region.
goose farm

"We have no further reports," said a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Agriculture on Monday. Avian influenza hit two goose farms with a total of almost 18,000 animals last week. All had to be killed.

According to the ministry, this is the largest outbreak of the highly contagious animal disease in the country so far this year. In order to prevent the spread to other companies, a restricted area and an observation area with a radius of about ten kilometers were set up around both farms within a radius of three kilometers.

Meanwhile, the Friedrich Loeffler Institute in the Pinneberg district confirmed a case of bird flu in a gannet on Helgoland. Numerous dead wild birds of this species have been found on the offshore island in recent weeks.

Wild birds are thought to be carriers of the disease. In the past few weeks, cases of avian influenza had increased among wild birds. According to the Loeffler Institute, the H5N1 virus variant was detected in almost 1,000 dead wild birds in Germany in the first half of the year. The coastal regions with their breeding areas are particularly affected. In addition, outbreaks in poultry and kept birds were registered in 31 domestic animal stocks.

New outbreak of avian influenza in Dinklage
In Dinklage there is the third avian influenza outbreak within two weeks. Avian influenza has become endemic, as a look at France and the Netherlands shows.
23.08.2022 10:02
by Alfons Deter

In Germany and neighboring countries, there is still no end in sight to the epidemic of avian influenza. On Monday, the district of Vechta announced that there was another outbreak of avian influenza. Around 14,000 laying hens have to be killed.

The bird flu virus had been detected on a farm in Dinklage. Just last week, the district reported evidence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) of the H5N1 subtype in a livestock facility in Dinklage. According to official information, almost 120,000 laying hens were culled as a precaution; A protection zone with a radius of 3 km was established around the plant.

And two weeks ago, a similar case from Dinklage became known. 110,000 laying hens had to be killed.

look abroad

In the Netherlands, too, the epidemic has so far made no attempt to disappear. At least three outbreaks in livestock farms have been registered in the past two weeks; laying hens, broilers and ducks were affected. In Vlaardingen, avian influenza was detected in a petting zoo; there, too, the bird population was culled.

The epidemic is also not coming to a rest in France. After only wild birds, especially seabirds, were affected there for a long time, there have recently been outbreaks in livestock farming again. Last week it hit a farm with fattening turkeys in the Morbihan department in Brittany; the disease had previously become known in two poultry farms in the departments of Manche and Somme.

Observers take the ongoing infections as an indication that the disease is actually becoming endemic and is permanently settling in the environment or wild bird populations.
