Delbrück (dpa / lnw) - Due to the suspicion of avian influenza, 30,000 pullets must be killed in Delbrück (Gütersloh district).
On Monday morning this will be done by fumigation with carbon dioxide, announced the Paderborn district on Sunday.
According to the Avian Influenza Ordinance, animals in the disease population must be killed if there is clear clinical suspicion.
In addition, a monitoring zone will be set up around the suspected infection process, in which chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry on other farms must remain in their keeping.
If the Friedrich Löffler Institute confirms avian influenza, the protective measures can be tightened.
At the beginning of March there were poultry festival cases in other places in the Paderborn district, and the veterinarians had to intervene there too.
The NRW Ministry of the Environment later emphasized that the risk of further outbreaks had not yet been averted.
