The numbers above come from the public avian influenza (HPAI) data of the Polish Veterinary Inspectorate (GIW), assigned to podkarpackie voivodeship by coordinates. It is an indicative picture — always confirm official zones with your district veterinary officer.
Why the region matters
HPAI risk is not uniform across the country — it depends on wild-waterfowl flyways, farm density and season. A farmer in podkarpackie should follow the local situation and react before an outbreak appears nearby. The season summary helps.
What to do when an outbreak is near
When HPAI is detected nearby, tighten farm-entry rules and isolate the flock from wild birds immediately. A ready checklist is in the biosecurity plan and the farm biosecurity guide.

What to do in Subcarpathia — six steps
The order of actions to protect the flock and stay inspection-ready.
Check current outbreaks
See the figures above and compare them with the official GIW HPAI map. Note whether outbreaks are in poultry or wild birds.
Find out if you are in a zone
Around an outbreak a protection zone (3 km) and a surveillance zone (10 km) are set. Your district veterinary officer confirms whether your farm falls within them.
Tighten biosecurity
Entry only through a hygiene barrier, change of clothing and footwear, wheel disinfection. Use the ready biosecurity plan.
Cut off wild birds
Secure water sources and feed, net openings, do not feed waterfowl near the farm. This is the main route of infection.
Report suspicions
A sudden rise in mortality, a drop in lay or nervous signs must be reported at once to the district veterinary officer. Reporting is mandatory and free.
Keep documentation
An entry, treatment and observation log is the basis for inspections and compensation. Keep it in the digital Flock Card.
Bird flu in the region — what to remember
Six things that frame HPAI at the voivodeship scale.
Seasonality
Most outbreaks occur in autumn and winter, at the peak of wild-bird migration. That is when biosecurity must be tightest.
Role of wild birds
HPAI in wild birds is a warning for the whole region — the virus circulates in the environment even before poultry outbreaks.
Duties in a zone
Zones impose duties: housing poultry, movement bans, flock censuses. Non-compliance risks penalties.
Reporting and compensation
Poultry culled by order is compensated from public funds — provided the case was reported and documented.
Impact on trade
Outbreaks halt movements and exports from the region. That is a real business risk, not only a health one.
Where to find data
The official source is GIW. The national picture is on the avian influenza (HPAI) page, the seasonal one in the season summary.
