Newcastle disease - Animal disease in Augsburg: owners should vaccinate chickens
The State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) has detected Newcastle disease in a pigeon from the city of Augsburg. The Augsburg Office for Consumer Protection and Veterinary Affairs announced on Thursday that there had previously been an increased incidence of dead urban pigeons released into the wild. Chickens and turkeys are particularly susceptible to the infectious viral disease, which is why the state office is urging hobby poultry farmers in particular to comply with the vaccination obligation and vaccinate their flocks. The animal disease is highly contagious and manifests itself in symptoms such as diarrhea or edema on the head.
According to the authorities, 232 chicken keepers in the Augsburg city area, each keeping a maximum of 15 chickens, are registered with the veterinary office. In total, there are 1323 registered animals.
