Danger averted: Stall obligation for poultry in the Vogtland ends

After the outbreak of bird flu in domestic poultry in Vogtland in September, the district office has now given the all-clear. According to the authority, no new cases of infection have occurred. The protective measures and restricted areas will therefore be lifted this Wednesday. This marks the end of the compulsory confinement imposed by the veterinary office, which affected poultry farms in Muldenhammer, Klingenthal, Schöneck, Grünbach, Werda, Neustadt, Bergen, Falkenstein, Ellefeld, Rodewisch and Auerbach.

Bird flu broke out in domestic poultry in the Vogtland region in September. The H5N1 virus was detected on a farm with geese and ducks. Several animals died as a result and others were killed as a precautionary measure.
