- A dead greylag goose infected with H5N1 virus in Stuttgart triggered a temporary indoor confinement for chickens at Reyerhof farm.
- This restriction severely limits the free-range lifestyle of around 270 chickens and poses significant economic risks for direct marketers.
- Avian flu mainly spreads via migratory birds during autumn and spring, but Reyerhof is outside the main migration route and had no prior infections.
- The farm postponed its flock replacement, expects the indoor order to end by mid-April, and anticipates reduced losses if no outbreak occurs.
