A case of low pathogenic avian influenza was confirmed by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture to have infected a commercial flock of 22,000 hens in Christian County, Kentucky.
The virus was suspected during a routine pre-slaughter test done a couple weeks after the first case of bird flu was detected in the U.S. The first birds to be confirmed had a case of high pathogenic avian influenza on a poultry farm in Tennessee. The farm was on the Mississippi. . .
