AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -The Netherlands will cull around 161,000 chickens at a poultry farm in the central-eastern region of the country after bird flu was detected there, the government said in a statement on Wednesday.
A transport ban is in place within a 10 km radius of the affected farm, impacting 26 poultry farms in the area, the government said.
Last week, the Dutch Agriculture Ministry issued a nationwide order to poultry farms to keep their birds inside and it also banned bird shows.
