A mallard duck farm near the north Jutland town of Nibe has been infected with a low pathogenic type of avian influenza H5N2, according to the Danish veterinary and food administration Fødevarestyrelsen.
An entire flock of 1,200 ducklings will be killed to prevent the virus from spreading.
All hobby duck shooting within the zone is only allowed with a permission from the veterinary administration.
The infection was discovered during a routine inspection carried out as part of prevention efforts against Avian influenza.
Just two weeks ago, a similar case has been reported at Brenderup farm in western Funen, where 3,000 ducklings had to be put down because of the virus.
