Takamatsu, Kagawa Pref. – Local authorities in Kagawa Prefecture began culling around 330,000 chickens Thursday after an outbreak of a highly pathogenic bird flu was confirmed at a chicken farm for the first time in nearly three years in the country.
The prefectural government instructed chicken farms within a 3-kilometer radius of the infected site in the city of Mitoyo not to move any poultry or eggs, and is checking whether infections have occurred at other locations.
