Bird Flu Virus Found on Second Delaware Farm
From the
AgWeb website comes this story:
bq. Delaware's Agriculture Department today said a second poultry flock has tested posted with the bird flu virus. The department said the bird flu virus found in a commercial flock of roaster-type chickens in northern Sussex County was the same H7 strain found five miles away in southern Kent County late last week.
bq. "The Delaware Department of Agriculture found Tuesday morning that avian influenza is present on a second farm in Delaware," it said in a statement.
This is not the strain (H5N1) that is causing the problems in Asia but it is still a matter of concern.
