Outdoor breeding of poultry barred in Czechia over bird flu outbreak

The State Veterinary Administration has barred the outdoor breeding of poultry in Czechia due to the current high incidence of avian flu. The measure will come into effect from Wednesday.

Breeders must move their birds into buildings; where this is not possible, contact with wild birds must be kept to an absolute minimum. Such measures were last imposed at the end of November.
