The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has reported four outbreaks of avian influenza in Strathroy, Ontario, over the past two weeks, with the latest confirmed at a commercial poultry farm. The total number of affected birds now exceeds 63,000, including at least 15,469 turkeys in a recent outbreak. CFIA has established two primary control zones to prevent the disease’s spread. The H5N1 strain is highly infectious among domestic birds, necessitating strict biosecurity measures to protect flocks.
