May 27, 2018 / 6:17 PM / Updated 5 hours ago Bulgaria reports bird flu outbreak at duck farm
SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgaria’s food safety agency authorities reported
on Sunday an outbreak of the bird flu virus on a duck farm in the
northeastern village of Stefanovo and said birds on the farm were being
culled. It is the second outbreak of bird flu at the facility since October, when more than 10,000 ducks were culled. It
was unclear which strain of bird flu it was. Bulgaria has reported a
handful of outbreaks of bird flu since December, some of them involving
the highly pathogenic H5N8 bird flu virus. At the farm in
Stefanovo, a three-kilometer protection zone had been set around the
farm and the movement of domestic, wild and other birds and has been
banned within it, as has the sale of eggs and poultry, the food safety
agency said on its website.
