AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -The Netherlands will cull around 71,000 chickens at a poultry farm in the northern part of the country following the detection of bird flu, the government said in a statement on Tuesday.
This marks the first outbreak of bird flu in the Netherlands since March of this year.
The government has so far not imposed a nationwide requirement to keep poultry indoors, stating that this outbreak does not warrant such a measure. However, an expert group on animal diseases will meet soon to assess the risk.
