The Dutch government said on Thursday that it's health authorities have culled around 25,000 hens on a farm in the south of the country after the detection of a highly infectious strain of bird flu.
In a statement released today, the farm is in the town of Neerkant, 30 km southeast of Eindhoven. A transport ban has been imposed on 83 additional nearby farms.
More than a dozen cases of the form of avian flu have been reported in the Netherlands in the past month, following dozens of cases earlier in the year.
France has also seen a resurgence in cases after experiencing its worst-ever bird flu wave earlier this year.
