Avian Influenza has been found at five commercial poultry farms in Manitoba this month, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s website says.
The virus was detected at three sites in the Rural Municipality of Hanover on Oct. 25, Oct. 21 and Oct. 16.
Flu was detected in the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton on Oct. 10. The first of the five October cases was detected in the Municipality of Ste. Rose the previous day.
The only other two cases in Manitoba this year were detected at a non-commercial site in the Municipality of Boissevain-Morton on May 6 and at a commercial site in the RM of Wallace-Woodworth on May 2. Orders related to those two sites are no longer in effect, the website states.
