    Bird flu was discovered today (Thursday) at Kibbutz turkey coop of the nearby kibbutz. Coop owners invited inspectors from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development following the death of the chickens in the coop, the inspectors took samples from the corpses of chickens and laboratory test found out that the poultry infected with bird flu. The teams of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development took care of the infected chicken coop.

    Ministry of Agriculture estimated that "this is the same subspecies of bird flu was discovered now also in several European countries" and that the source of the disease caused by the droppings of migratory birds Sands. Migration season is in full swing during which migrate through Israel hundreds of millions of birds and therefore probably HIV infection.
    The birds destroyed using special foam machines bring their rapid gassing, Animal Welfare organizations are trying to fight in the form of destruction of poultry and argue that it causes suffering for birds. One of the organization's activists shooting a video which appears as claimed killing poultry birds takes time to die.
    Ministry of Agriculture Meged claim that this foam machines quickest and easiest way to bring the destruction of the infected fly flying through the destruction of the dead is practiced all over the world say the Ministry of Agriculture.
