Avian influenza spread in Germany. In Baden-Württemberg, thousands of poultry have been culled, and thousands of cranes have recently died.

The current situation:

The incidence rate is currently reaching new levels with the autumn migration of birds. Large farms housing laying hens and broiler turkeys have also been affected by the virus. This was also confirmed by the Federal Minister of Agriculture, who said: “There are currently several outbreaks, both in wild birds and in poultry farms,” said Rainer.The Friedrich Loeffler Institute (FLI) reported that the risk of further outbreaks in poultry farms and the spread of the disease among wild birds has been raised to “high.”New cases are being confirmed every day.

States with high bird migration rates are particularly affected, such as Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt, and Lower Saxony.

According to information from the Avian Influenza Institute, avian influenza has been detected in all federal states.
