Default France : Duck Farm has Severe Bird Flu

[PARIS (Reuters) - The French farm ministry
said on Tuesday that
highly pathogenic H5N8 bird flu
had been found on a duck farm in
the southwest of the country,
confirming France’s first farm
outbreak of the virus this year.

The outbreak was first reported on
Monday but at the time it was
unclear what strain of the virus it was.

Bird flu has been spreading rapidly
in Europe, putting the poultry industry
on alert after previous outbreaks led
to the culling of tens of millions of birds.

“The ANSES national reference laboratory
confirmed today the infection
of a farm of 6,000 ducks by the H5N8 virus
in the municipality of
Benesse-Maremne (Landes region),
in which high mortality was
observed on Dec. 5,”
the ministry said in a statement.]

Its here already. A lady chicken farmer on Radio 4 yesterday has to now keep all her free range chickens inside so they cant mix with wild birds. She can still call them free range however. If one bird starts to cough, all get killed.

It's a fowl situation, alright. I hope the government will help them pick up the bill.
