Alabama is the third state to have a confirmed case of avian influenza in a commercial flock of chickens. Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries (ADAI) determined the virus to be low pathogenic avian influenza, similar to the case found in Kentucky earlier this week, based on samples sent by a company in Pickens County during a routine screening test.
No affected poultry has entered the food chain and this particular strain does not pose a threat to humans, according to ADAI. . .
