CHICAGO (Reuters) – The United States Department of Agriculture has confirmed the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza in a flock of commercial broiler chickens in Stoddard County, Missouri, it said in a statement on Friday.
Over the past month, highly lethal bird flu cases have been confirmed at commercial farms in Indiana, Kentucky and Delaware, triggering export restrictions for U.S. poultry products.
