A Correspondent,Cox's Bazar

Some 3,000 chickens were culled at a poultry farm in Pahartoli area in the town on Sunday night after receiving confirmation that the chickens of that farm were infected with bird flu.

District Livestock Office said the local administration carried out the culling at Al Akbar Poultry Farm.

Dr Zaker Ullah, district livestock officer, said they collected samples from the poultry farm on Saturday and sent to Regional Livestock Research Centre in Feni. ?On Sunday officials from the centre informed us that bird flu virus was found in the samples,? he said.

Zaker said poultry birds at other farms in the area are being examined whether they are suffering from bird flu disease or not.

Owner of the farm Rasheda Begum said she bought the one-day old chickens from Agrabad of Chittagong four months ago, adding, "they started dying from May 3 and about 600 chickens died till Saturday.
