H5N1 Bird Flu Hits Goose Farm in Yunlin After Heavy Rains and Heat
Posted on 2025-07-15 17:08:13
Yunlin County officials are calling on poultry farmers to step up biosecurity measures after a confirmed outbreak of bird flu at a goose farm in Dongshi Township.
Authorities have disinfected the site and culled over 2-thousand-600 geese and destroyed more than 15-hundred eggs to contain the virus.
Officials noted that recent heavy rains followed by high temperatures have created ideal conditions for the disease to spread.
While summer outbreaks in geese are uncommon, the county is still monitoring 22 nearby poultry farms within a one-kilometer radius.
Farmers are being urged to remain vigilant and report any signs of abnormal bird symptoms immediately, such as twisted necks.
