H5N8 Virus: Avian Flu In France, Hundreds Of Thousands Of Ducks To Be Culled

An industrial breeding farm of 20,000 ducks near Mugron. A new epizootic disease caused by the H5N8 virus (avian influenza) in the Landes department and nearby departments (Gers, Pyrenees-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrenees and Lot-et-Garonne) concerns breeders for ducks producing 'foie gras' and ducks fattened by 'gavage'. All ducks in the 5 departments must be culled in order to stop or to slow the contagion following orders by French Agriculture Minister Julien Denormandie.Mugron. France. January 13th 2021.
