BIRD FLU has been discovered at a farm which bought birds from a market linked to an earlier outbreak, the government has revealed.
Tests found 22 chickens and three ducks tested positive for avian flu at the farm in St Helens, Lancashire, the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said yesterday.
The new cases are being linked to the outbreak in Wales last month where contaminated birds were traded at the Chelford market.
A Defra statement said, ?Birds at the holding were purchased from the market held in Chelford on Monday, May 7, associated with the recent outbreak of H7N2 low pathogenic avian influenza in Conwy, North Wales.?
