In order to prevent this outbreak of bird flu from spreading, a series of measures have already been taken.
The Ministry of Agriculture has declared that feeding and watering must take place on premises that are not accessible to wild birds across Luxembourg until further notice.
In addition, poultry must be kept in enclosed facilities and may only be allowed to enter outdoor areas if protective nets are built to prevent contact with wild birds. All poultry shows are prohibited until further notice and all abnormal deaths of poultry must be reported to a veterinarian.
If you find a dead or sick wild water bird (goose, duck, swan), you are asked to report it to the Luxembourg Veterinary and Food Administration (ALVA), either by calling 247 82539 or by writing an e-mail to info@alva.etat.lu
As a reminder, the consumption of eggs and poultry meat is safe for public health.
