Slaughterhouses in Ermelo, Nunspeet and Harderwijk locked because of bird flu

 

Broiler slaughterhouse GPS in Nunspeet and ducks slaughterhouses Tomassen Duck-To in Ermelo and VSE in Harderwijk are provisionally locked as a result of the measures taken due to infection with avian influenza from a duck farm in Biddinghuizen. Both slaughterhouses are within the surveillance zone established in a radius of 10 kilometers around the affected poultry farm in Biddinghuizen.

Transport of poultry is prohibited in this area, making the slaughterhouses no chickens and ducks may argue.

The measures mean likely that companies wishing to dispose ducks for slaughter at abattoirs in East Germany or Poland have been identified. Outside the slaughterhouses in Ermelo and Harderwijk there are no possibilities for the slaughter of ducks in the Netherlands.

Tomassen Duck-To 1 September oevrgenomen the VSE activities. The slaughter was transferred to Ermelo and the duck slaughterhouse in Harderwijk is out. Slaughter capacity has been increased in Ermelo. There are weekly 180,000 to 190,000 ducks slaughtered. These are partly come from the Netherlands, but also come in part from Germany. Tomassen calls for setting a corridor to the slaughterhouse in Ermelo, where it appears that the bird flu infection, only to a company in Biddinghuizen and has not spread to companies in Hierden and Ermelo.

In the 10 kilometer zone around Biddinghuizen, besides the slaughterhouses several other poultry-related companies are located. It goes next to firms with ducks, broilers and laying hens, for example, to the vaccine hatchery hatchery and Tanghe in Harderwijk.
