</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">MOSCOW, April 1 (Itar-Tass) -- Domestic birds have been inoculated against bird flu in the Moscow region, chief regional veterinarian Valery Sitnikov told Itar-Tass on Sunday.
?Some 677,000 birds, including chickens, ducks, geese and pet birds, have received the inoculation,? he said. ?The inoculation will go on, as people are buying more chickens in spring.?
?Ten million birds at 23 poultry farms of the Moscow region do not need the inoculation, as such birds are permanently kept indoors,? he said.
A bird flu outbreak occurred in eight districts of the Moscow region this February, and about 500 birds were disposed. The infection started from a Moscow bird market.
