Duck cull starts at British bird flu farm

Culling of thousands of ducks at a farm operated by the UK’s largest producer of duck products is expected to begin today after a bird flu outbreak.
British Government vets are investigating if the case of “highly pathogenic” H5 avian flu, found on the farm operated by Cherry Valley in Nafferton, near Driffield, East Yorkshire, in England is linked to a similar case in the Netherlands.
