(BangkokPost.com) – Nakhon Ratchasima health officials are on high alert for the bird flu virus after dozens of chickens were reported to have died mysteriously at a local farm.
Orders were issued to chicken farmers in all 3,712 villages in the northeastern province to carry out tests at their farms to locate the virus and to spray disinfectants.
According to the livestock department in Nakorn Ratchasima, 21 chickens were said to have died on January 28 at a farm in Non Thai district.
Samples of faeces taken from the farm where the chicken died are being examined by health experts to confirm whether the chickens died of the H5N1 virus.
Chickens within a five-kilometre radius of the farm have also been culled as a preventative measure.
