About 80,000 broilers on a farm in the Frisian village of Blija are being culled because bird flu has been diagnosed there. This is the second time this year that this company has had to be cleared.
Another poultry farm is located within a 1 kilometer zone. That is currently empty due to an earlier infection with bird flu at the beginning of September. Within 3 kilometers are three other poultry farms. These companies are being examined for bird flu. Nine other poultry farms are located in a 10-kilometre zone.
A transport ban applies immediately in this area. The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) reports that this poultry farm in Blija was also culled in January this year due to a bird flu infection.
