Overview
- Bavaria ordered a 10‑kilometer stall and movement zone around a Geiselhöring farm after H5N1 was confirmed, with 24 hens found dead and the remaining 69 birds culled.
- At a Germering animal sanctuary, about 80 birds were killed after FLI confirmation in geese and chickens, with authorities saying no protection zones are required in this case.
- Following H5N1 detections in wildfowl at the Pliening Speichersee, Ebersberg imposed a 5‑kilometer stalling order for 36 holdings and urged the public to avoid the site as THW prepares further carcass recovery.
- The spread reached new locales with a confirmed H5N1 swan at Lake Constance and the first case in Witten from a wild goose, where no zones are planned but monitoring and public reporting have been stepped up.
- Beyond Bavaria, Oldenburg set additional surveillance areas tied to outbreaks in neighboring districts and culled roughly 3,800 birds at a Reckum site pending FLI confirmation, while Saxony’s Meißen district established 3‑ and 10‑kilometer zones and a countywide stall order after 8,000 turkeys were destroyed.
