PORTOMAGGIORE. Bird flu returns to beat in portuense territory. After the accident that occurred in early May on the farm Farm Sun in Maiero campaigns, where they were knocked down 17 thousand laying hens organically, this time the bird flu was found inside livestock called "Campotto 1" located on the road between Rangona Portomaggiore and Vicentina companies to tender which is part of the Amadori chain, the poultry group that has its headquarters in San Vittore di Cesena but in our province has several farms in Portuense, nell'Argentano and in the Codigoro area. They will have to be felled well 50 thousand turkeys. It is a herd which was already part of the area of surveillance, after the discovery and case Maiero, includes a series of rules and monitors.
