Highly pathogenic avian influenza: 8,000 animals killed in Lauterbach!
The news about avian influenza hit the Meissen region like a bomb. The affected company is Blum Agrar GbR in Lauterbach, which has been active in animal husbandry and agriculture since 1991. The highly pathogenic virus was detected for the first time in a poultry flock on November 7th. Within a very short time, around 200 animals died, showing clear symptoms such as shortness of breath and loss of appetite. On Sunday night, according to official orders, around 8,000 turkeys had to be killed with carbon dioxide gas in order to contain the spread of the virus and prevent further damage.
The killed animals were transported to the rendering facility in Lenz. The killing was carried out by the specialized company Vetcon from Lower Saxony. The financial burden on farmer Rita Blum-Niedermeier is enormous - it amounts to around 350,000 euros. Despite these bitter setbacks and the empty stables, she has an unwavering will to continue the company. “Giving up is not an option,” could be Rita Blum-Niedermeier’s thoughts as she faces the painful reality.
suffering of those affected
The impact on animal husbandry in the region is clearly noticeable. Pet owners face great emotional and economic pressure. The circumstances are not only an economic catastrophe, but also a loss of confidence in animal husbandry. Rita Blum-Niedermeier shows herself to be a strong personality who defies the crisis with confidence and determination. For many farmers in the area, the economic consequences are similarly threatening.
The situation shows how vulnerable agriculture is to animal diseases and underlines the importance of strict biosecurity measures. The authorities and experts are faced with the challenge of containing the situation and helping the affected companies.
