Two-Week Closure After Avian Flu Confirmed at Kamerik Petting Farm

Officials tie any reopening to housing tests overseen by the NVWA.

Overview

  • Municipality of Woerden said tests confirmed avian influenza at Kinderboerderij Oortjespad in Kamerik.
  • The NVWA ordered the preventive culling of all poultry on the site to prevent further spread.
  • The petting farm is closed for at least two weeks to protect other animals, staff and visitors.
  • The owner reported four earlier bird deaths—turkeys and peacocks—within a flock of about 45 birds.
  • Authorities will determine reopening based on post‑closure testing of the enclosures.
