The outbreak, which began in February, affected four commercial poultry properties.
There have been no new cases of H7N8 bird flu since February 24.
Agriculture Victoria said disease eradication activities had been successful, allowing authorities to remove quarantine from the infected properties and lift the control area that had been in place around Euroa for more than four months.
As a result, there were no longer movement restrictions around the four properties.
Victoria’s acting chief veterinary officer, Sally Salmon, said the disease was eradicated thanks to the hard work of the poultry industry, local bird owners and the wider community.
“Early reporting from the first affected business meant we could act quickly, and their ongoing co-operation with all elements of the response has been a major factor in achieving eradication,” Dr Salmon said.
Once the affected birds had been removed from the properties, more than 100 people were deployed to clean and disinfect each site.
Dr Salmon also thanked bird owners across the region for their support during the response.
“Thanks to local residents, we visited 350 properties, took 20,600 samples and completed 21,500 tests for the virus,” Dr Salmon said.
“Surveillance is key to gathering the evidence to show that the disease hasn’t spread. We couldn’t have done this without the help of bird and poultry owners.”
If you see unexplained bird deaths, report them to the 24-hour Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888 or contact your local vet.
