Bird flu samples tested from a farm in North Okanagan
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says there are many suspicious premises in the regional area
A local farm is being tested for potential bird flu.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the samples are currently being tested at the National Center for Foreign Animal Diseases.
“There are many suspects in the North Okanagan Regional District,” the CFIA said in an email to the Morning Star.
“If the notifiable avian influenza virus is confirmed by the laboratory, the CFIA will inform the public through its website.”
About 260,000 birds have been euthanized or killed by the virus in Canada, the majority in Alberta.
