Austria: Increasing Avian Flu Detections in Wild Birds - Obligatory Housing for Poultry in Several Austrian Regions
Due to increased detections of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) virus H5N1 in wild birds, the Austrian authorities declared certain areas of Austria at greatly increased risk of AI. Additional biosecurity measures are applied in these areas until further notice to protect domestic poultry from infection. Poultry must be kept permanently in barns or at least in covered housing facilities. Currently, there has not been a trade impact for Austria.
