Via CTV.ca: Tests show avian flu local to lone B.C. farm. Excerpt:
Avian flu found on one Fraser Valley turkey farm has not spread to any other farms in the quarantine area.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says so far all commercial flocks have tested negative in the three-kilometre quarantine zone set up to stop a virus from spreading.
Authorities had to destroy 60,000 turkeys earlier this week at a farm in Abbotsford, B.C., and the birds carcasses are being composed with in the barns to prevent further spread of the virus.
The H5 virus was discovered in some of the birds in one barn on the farm. Further tests that would indicate how virulent the virus strain is still have not been completed.
That phrase "composed with in the barns" should be "composted within the barns."
I'm surprised that it's taking so long to finish the tests on the virus. The latest news from CFIA is available here.
