Bird flu identified in NW Hungary
The national food chain safety office (Nebih) on Wednesday confirmed the presence of a highly pathogenic bird flu virus at a turkey farm in the county of Gyor-Sopron, in north-western Hungary.
A 3km protection zone as well as a 10km observation zone were established after the virus subtype H5N1 was detected at the farm in Bony, Nebih said.
The stocks in question, 26,500 turkeys, are in the process of being destroyed and an epidemiological investigation is under way, the authority said.
