As disclosed by the Regional Council of Veneto, was extended until 30nd June the provisions of the note of last 22 February on the prohibition of raising poultry in the open air with the relative exceptions are coming soon. The same goes for the conduct of fairs, exhibitions and poultry markets. We are talking about the prevention ofbird flu. It is therefore forbidden to raise poultry in the open throughout the Veneto region. Authorizations are possible in the event of a positive opinion from the Veterinary Services of ULSS Companies.
The rearing of game in aviaries is allowed as long as the area where the feeding and watering takes place is protected in order to prevent access to wild birds. It is therefore necessary to avoid contact with them with feed and water intended for farmed game. In addition to the provisions of Annex VI of the ministerial note of last February 10, the owners and keepers of animals must promptly report to the competent authority any variation in production, especially as regards mortality, feed and water consumption, without forgetting the spawning.
Loading to the slaughterhouse can only be carried out with personnel inside the farm: in the event that this is not possible due to the size of the farm itself, then it can be done on condition that the farmer guarantees that all personnel are identified individually and properly registered.
