Livestock officials culled 117,600 chickens in the town of Thakurgaon, in northern Bangladesh Sunday, after lab tests confirmed the presence of avian flu.
According to reports, an abnormally large number of birds were found dead last week in poultry sheds owned by Kazi Farms, the nation's largest producer of eggs and poultry. A Kazi spokesperson told AFP that 2,000 eggs were also destroyed at a total loss of $6 million to the company.
Around 1.25 million birds have been culled in Banglaesh since 2007 when avian flu was first reported according to Reuters who also reported that the disease has since spread to 47 of the country's 64 districts. No human deaths have been reported.
