Total of 75 cases in the domestic poultry. 51% (38) in turkey farms. 12% (9) in layer farms and a total of 2.7M birds were culled. The majority of the H5N8 HPAI affected industrial poultry farms had no epidemiological contacts with previously infected poultry premises. Most of the infected farms were located in proximity of wetlands. Substantial populations of wild water birds have been reported near some of the outbreak sites. Depopulation activities took about 15 days to be concluded. 860,000 birds were culled as prevention.
