MIYAZAKI (Kyodo) — Dead chickens found at a poultry farm in Miyazaki Prefecture were infected with a highly pathogenic avian flu virus, local officials said early Monday amid a spreading epidemic among local farms.
The results of detailed tests on the dead birds at the farm in the town of Takanabe confirm the season’s sixth outbreak of bird flu in the prefecture and the ninth in the country.
The prefectural government started culling Monday morning all of the 40,000 chickens at the farm, adding it will also impose a ban on transporting chickens and eggs from poultry farms within a 10-kilometer radius.
