Overview
- The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority is culling about 161,000 birds at a layer‑rearing farm in Dodewaard, Gelderland.
- A transport ban is in force across a 10‑kilometer zone, covering movements of poultry, hatching and table eggs, manure, used litter, and other animal products.
- Zetten and Andelst lie within the 3‑kilometer area that contains one other poultry company, while 25 commercial poultry businesses are in the wider 10‑kilometer zone.
- The NVWA is tracing potentially risky contacts and could order additional sampling or temporarily block farms that had contact with the infected site.
- The farm owner confirmed to Omroep Gelderland that the affected company is his, and producer representatives support the housing order while urging earlier seasonal start dates.
