The farm is part of mixed-species premises with several types of animals, including ducks, broiler chickens, Goliath chickens, and rabbits. Two male breeding ducks were purchased at the Passy market on May 8, 2026, in the department of Foundiougne, located in the Fatick region, to restock the flock and ensure mating with the females. One of the newly introduced adult males died from the disease, while the other survived. The quarantine period for the two new ducks was not applied properly. The first symptoms appeared on May 11, 2026, and the first deaths occurred on May 12, 2026. In total, among the ducks, 29 deaths were recorded out of a flock of 50, representing a mortality rate of 58%. As for the Goliath chickens, out of a flock of 11, 4 deaths were recorded, representing a mortality rate of 36.36%. Additionally, 7 other birds were culled by the manager following the appearance of clinical signs.
