Netherlands Orders Culling of 14,000 Broilers After Avian Flu Confirmed at Oudemolen Farm

Overview

• Authorities have established a 10‑kilometre restriction zone with transport bans on birds, eggs, manure and used litter.
• Other animal movements are allowed only under strict hygiene rules set by the NVWA.
• There are no other poultry farms within 1 kilometre of the site, with two within 3 kilometres and eight within 10 kilometres subject to controls.
• The NVWA is reviewing recent contacts and product movements connected to the farm to assess possible spread.
• This marks the fifth confirmed case in North Brabant since December, as nationwide housing and event bans persist and more than 2 million chickens have been killed overall.
