Amsterdam:
The Dutch Ministry of Agriculture on Thursday ordered the culling of 200,000 chickens after extremely pathogenic chicken flu was discovered at a farm within the japanese city of Puiflijk.
The cull, which incorporates birds at a second farm inside a 1km radius, is the second within the nation this month after the H5N8 illness was first present in wild fowl. Dutch poultry farmers have been ordered to maintain birds inside to stop transmission.
