Chicken Producing State Suffering From First Bird Flu Case
Like 0 Dislike 0 Published on 27 Mar 2017
According to the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the state of Georgia has confirmed its first-ever case of bird flu in commercial poultry. This means the outbreak of the disease is present in the United States' biggest chicken meat-producing state. A flock of 18,000 chickens used for breeding have been slaughtered after testing positive for H7 bird flu. The department of Agriculture says the birds were likely infected with a form of the virus that is not highly lethal because the flock did not show signs of illness. The discovery came after officials in Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee confirmed cases of bird flu in breeding operations this month.
