More Farms Hit by Bird Flu
Two more poultry farms around the one already affected near Dereham,
Norfolk, have become infected with bird flu, Defra has revealed.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said indications
suggested the farms were affected by the less serious H7N3 strain of
flu.
Further tests are being carried out. A spokesman said two free range
flocks will be slaughtered.
