An additional 21,000 birds infected with avian flu were found today (Sunday) in turkey farms in Neot Golan, and in two chicken coops in Moshav Gadish. The affected areas were quarantined and the eggs sent for destruction.
Minister of Agriculture Oded Forer commented, "This is a disease of a magnitude we have not experienced before. Each new epicenter is a warning sign that we must increase the biological security of Israel's poultry farms if we are to return to normalcy."
