Agriculture Roundup for Wednesday, December 21, 2022
MELFORT, Sask. – Another Fraser Valley farm has been struck with the highly contagious avian flu in a year of severe infection.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the virus was confirmed yesterday on a commercial poultry farm in Langley.
More than two-and-a-half million flocks have been infected this year in B.C.
While the virus affects birds, there is no evidence it can be passed to humans who consume poultry products.
