Avian flu outbreak forces culling of around 150,000 birds in Germany

23 octubre 2025

Excerpts:​

The government of the eastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, in northeastern Germany, reported that two farms there, totaling 148,000 birds, had been affected by the outbreak and their animals were culled, according to the newspaper Die Welt.

The situation caused by avian flu in Germany is of particular concern in the state of Lower Saxony, in northwestern Germany, where about two-thirds of Germany's poultry population is located.
The Lower Saxony Poultry Industry Association, where an estimated 106 million birds are farmed, emphasized in a statement that keeping birds indoors "can save the lives of millions of animals."
For this reason, its president, Friedrich-Otto Ripke, asked the authorities to make it mandatory to keep birds inside these coops. EFE​
