LONDON, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Bird flu has been found at a
turkey farm in northern England, the government said on Sunday.
"Avian flu has been confirmed at a commercial turkey
fattening farm near Northallerton, North Yorkshire," Chief
Veterinary Officer, Christine Middlemiss said in a statement.
The disease was the H5N8 strain.
It said all 10,500 birds at the farm would be humanely
culled to limit the spread of the disease, and that the risk to
public health was very low. The outbreak does not pose a food
safety risk, the statement added
