FRASER VALLEY (NEWS1130) – Two more Fraser Valley poultry farms have tested positive for avian flu.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says both of these farms are within 3 km of the infected zone in Abbotsford.
A total of seven farms have tested positive and several countries have banned import of our products.
Dr. Harpreet Kochhar adds another barn on one of the previously infected sites has tested positive for the virus. “As this barn is legally considered a separate business entity, we are treating it as a new infected premise. This brings the total of infected premises to eight.”
He says another farm is suspected of also having avian influenza and is being tested.
There are now 155,000 birds that are either dead or set to be euthanized.
