The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed two additional cases of avian influenza at commercial poultry operations in Strathroy-Caradoc, bringing the total number of outbreaks in the area to five. The most recent cases were identified late last week, and nearly 100,000 birds have now been impacted and subsequently culled.
To help contain the virus, the CFIA has implemented a primary control zone, requiring permits for the movement of birds as well as any related products or by-products.
