Avian influenza (H5N1) continues to spread rapidly in Germany. The FLI has reported a significant increase in cases in wild birds and poultry farms; several federal states/municipalities have imposed compulsory stabling in some cases. In total, numerous flocks have been affected in recent weeks - with large animal losses.

What counts now: consistent barn and yard hygiene - especially at all transitions (people, wheels, tyres). The FLI emphasises the need for strict hygiene measures; DVG-listed products are prescribed in the event of an epidemic.

Practical set-up for entrances and exits:

  • Walk-on disinfection mats for staff/visitor entrances - saturated, easy to maintain, clearly marked.
  • Drive-on disinfection mats for wheels/tyres (transport aids etc.) - integrated into the lane.
  • Choice of agent: use e.g. Disinfect Glutar Extra (Bio-Tec, Steinfeld) as a preventive measure in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions; in the event of an outbreak, use only DVG-listed disinfectants and observe the list/guidelines.

Practical tip: Place mat surfaces so that it is not possible to walk around them; check wetting daily, add agent according to exposure time/concentration; change contaminated carrier material professionally. (See FLI guidelines on disinfection.)
