The latest culling comes after 50 million birds have been slaughtered
nationwide to try and contain the ongoing outbreak according to AP,
so who knows if it's actually true.
Fortunately the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) issued
a report, which adds that this is the 13th farm in the state to
suffer an outbreak this year. According to the report, 6.8 million
birds have been killed in Nebraska - the second-most behind Iowa,
which has killed 15.5 million.
After the affected flock is culled, the NDA will establish a 6.2-mile
control zone around the affected premises.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a highly contagious virus
which spreads easily among birds via nasal and eye secretions, along
with manure, the NDA said in a statement. Symptoms include a lack
of energy and appetite, decreased egg production or malformed eggs,
and sudden death in birds even if they aren't showing symptoms.
The disease can survive 'for weeks' in contaminated environments.
According to Yahoo, Turkey and chicken farms aren't the only
facilities affected by bird flu this year - as a petting zoo in Utah
had an outbreak in recent days.
