“The largest outbreak of bird flu to date has been seen in Heithuisen in Limburg. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, we are talking about 300,000 chickens,” the report said.
To prevent the spread of bird flu, chickens are slaughtered on site by the Food and Consumer Product Safety Administration.
