flag German poultry farmers demand a ban on free-range farming to stop H5N1 spread, citing mass bird deaths and inadequate compensation.

flag German poultry farmers are urging a nationwide ban on free-range farming to curb the spread of avian influenza, driven by the highly contagious H5N1 virus. flag Over 200,000 birds have died or been culled this autumn, with 50 confirmed cases in commercial farms—26 in October alone. flag The Friedrich Loeffler Institute warns culling could reach 2020–21 levels, when over 2 million birds were destroyed. flag Farmers seek mandatory indoor housing during peak migration to protect flocks, prevent economic losses, and improve biosecurity, as current compensation of €50 per bird often falls short of market value.
