" MATSUE : Bird flu is suspected to have occurred at a poultry farm in Yasugi, Shimane Prefecture that feeds about 20,000 chickens, the prefectural government said Monday.
Five chickens were found dead Monday morning and they tested positive for bird flu in preliminary tests, it said, adding they may have been infected with the highly virulent H5 strain of avian flu virus.
Samples taken from the birds will be sent to the National Institute of Animal Health based in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture for closer examination and the cause of the death will be determined by late Wednesday, it said."
