In fresh years, avian influenza has become 1 of the biggest challenges for poultry producers and breeders in Poland. This illness is highly pathogenic and can origin large losses to poultry flocks. In order to reduce the spread of the disease, the European Commission has approved fresh measures against avian influenza, which must be implemented immediately by poultry producers, breeders and Veterinary Inspection.
New measures include bioinsurance, monitoring, transport restrictions and disinfection. These changes are intended to prevent the spread of the illness and to defend poultry flocks. Bioinsurance is 1 of the most crucial elements of the fresh measures. It includes a number of procedures to prevent the introduction of the illness into poultry flocks. Monitoring is besides a key component of the fresh measures. It shall include regular surveys of poultry flocks to detect possible outbreaks.
The fresh measures apply in 3 clusters: Warmian-Masurian, Masovian and Wielkopolska. These clusters are peculiarly susceptible to the hazard of spreading avian influenza and so fresh measures are mandatory there. By 2025 79 outbreaks of avian influenza were confirmed in Poland, which means that the illness is inactive a serious problem for poultry producers and breeders. Overall, the illness covered 6.85 million poultry, which represents a large failure to the economy.
The most outbreaks of avian influenza were found in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, where 25 outbreaks were confirmed. Another voivodship with the largest number of outbreaks are Mazowieckie and Wielkopolska, where 20 and 15 outbreaks were confirmed, respectively. These data show that avian influenza is simply a serious problem in Poland and requires urgent action to limit its spread.
The Veterinary Inspection plays a key function in the fight against avian influenza. Veterinary inspectors shall be liable for supervising the implementation of the fresh measures and monitoring the epidemiological situation in the country. The Veterinary Inspection besides cooperates with poultry producers and breeders to prevent the spread of the disease.
It is worth noting that avian influenza is not a illness that only affects poultry. This illness may besides affect human wellness and it is so crucial to take all essential measures to limit its spread. The Ministry of Agriculture and agrarian improvement and the Chief Veterinary Officer are liable for coordinating actions to combat avian influenza in Poland.
In order to reduce the spread of avian influenza, poultry producers and breeders must implement fresh measures, including biosecurity, monitoring, transport restrictions and disinfection. These measures are compulsory in 3 clusters: Warmian-Masurian, Mazovia and Wielkopolska. 79 outbreaks of avian influenza have already been confirmed in 2025, which means that the illness is inactive a serious problem for poultry producers and breeders.
