Today I will be mostly taking down poultry runs. Time for a move to another pen for the birds.This keeps them healthy and reduces worms and other parasites. #Chickens #Poultry #SmallHolding

For the first time, bird flu has been detected in cats in Belgium. Two animals from Sint-Gillis-Waas in the province of East Flanders probably became infected on a #poultry #farm. In order to better understand the spread of the virus, the national health institute Sciensano now wants to examine rats and mice as well.

I agree hundreds of thousands of chickens (or other birds / animals) shoved into single buildings is not a very good idea. We can only change that by massively reducing (or completely quiting) eating animals and animal products, like eggs.
Nonetheless, H5N1 could become the next pandemic so early detection remains important.
#chickens #poultry #smallholdings #homestead Does anyone have ideas for growing your own chicken feed ,if war comes to Europe or /and US hits the EU and UK with severe tariffs ,poultry feed is going to b e harder to get,theres often shortages of things like chick crumb already .I know way back crofters used oatmeal and potatos and that in the US squash were used I planted extra tatties and bought more squash ,but does anyone know what else I could grow for free ranging birds ?

#BackyardPoultry face #BirdFlu risk when migrating #mallards stop to rest
February 24, 2025
Summary:
Knowing where, when and for how long mallard ducks -- natural carriers of avian influenza -- stop and rest as they migrate can help predict the probability that they will spread bird flu to backyard poultry flocks, according to a new study.
"Knowing where, when and for how long mallard ducks -- natural carriers of avian influenza -- stop and rest as they migrate can help predict the probability that they will spread bird flu to backyard poultry flocks, according to a Cornell University study.
"The finding, published in Scientific Reports, takes an important step in explaining the transmission dynamics of bird flu, a strain also known as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (#HPAI), and could one day inform people with backyard poultry of the best times to take extra precautions to isolate their birds from wild ones.
"The researchers used a computer model to predict infection risk to backyard poultry, resident mallards and overwintering mute swans in Croatia, which serves as a stopover area for both migratory mallards and the swans.
"While #mallards tolerate avian influenza well, it is fatal to #MuteSwans; the dead birds can serve to alert people to the presence of bird flu that is otherwise hard to detect in the wild.
"Though Croatia served as a study system in this paper, the results are relevant to other places, including the #UnitedStates.
"'The virus has jumped independently at different times from wild birds to dairy cows,' said Sebastian Llanos-Soto, a doctoral student in the lab of senior author Renata Ivanek, professor of epidemiology.
"'There is an urgent need to improve our ability to predict the introduction of avian influenza at the wildlife-domestic animal interface and our study contributes to this goal,' Llanos-Soto said.
"In the study, the computer model was informed with migratory data, with migratory mute swans arriving in Croatia between September and November to winter and returning to breeding grounds between February and April.
"Mallards arrive between October and November for a stopover of seven to 28 days before continuing on their migration through the Mediterranean-Black Sea flyway.
"The model simulated the transmission of HPAI in an area considered to be of high risk for introduction into #poultry farms via #waterfowl.
"The model was validated with real-world bird and farm data from the study area.
"The study was funded by the College of Veterinary Medicine; the Cornell Institute for Digital Agriculture; and the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture."

#Birdflu breaks out in #Leipzig district, https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/leipzig/leipzig-leipzig-land/vogelgrippe-gefluegelpest-tierarzt-krankheit-virus-100.html
Bird flu has broken out in the Leipzig district. According to the district administration, the virus was detected in a Grimma #poultry #farm with 100 birds. The disease was also confirmed in a dead #buzzard that was discovered in Brandis.

I wonder with #American threats plus their mega #poultry #farms impacted by #BirdFlu causing their #prices to surge... I wonder if that has resulted in #Canadians #eating more #eggs so far in #2025? #SupplyManagement should help us with stable prices of eggs and #dairy - at least it should, and I am hoping for that.
Think about this.
I don't trust that #CulledPoultry won't make it into my stores with this 'No USDA' Administration. That is our #UnitedStatesDepartmentOfAgriculture. My family's #Diet is removing the Chicken and #Turkey for next 8-10 months now. Fresh #Chicken, #Poultry gets to stores within 12 days and many #USDAEmployees are fired since 7 days ago.

Two people in US hospitalized with bird flu, #CDC reports
#Wyoming woman still in hospital while #Ohio man released after facing ‘#respiratory and #NonRespiratory symptoms’
"Both patients experienced 'respiratory and non-respiratory symptoms', the report said, without detailing those symptoms.

"An 'older' woman from Platte county, Wyoming, was hospitalized in another state, according to a statement from the Wyoming department of health. She 'has health conditions that can make people more vulnerable to illness', the statement says.
"The woman was exposed to #poultry in a #BackyardFlock that tested positive for H5N1, the CDC report said, adding that she remained hospitalized at the time of the report.
"A man in Mercer county, Ohio, was infected while depopulating, or killing, H5N1-positive poultry at a commercial facility, according to a statement from the Ohio department of health.
"The man has been discharged from the hospital 'and is now recovering at home', the CDC report said."

Avian influenza detected at fourth poultry farm in Victoria's north east

"the . . . administration is preparing a plan for combatting avian flu that will move away from depopulating entire infected flocks and rely instead on ‘biosecurity and medication’ to contain outbreaks.”
