Avian Flu Spreads to More Virginia Poultry Farms
Avian flu has spread from Rockingham County to contract farms growing for Pilgrim's Pride in Shenandoah and a Cargill complex near Keezletown. About 16,000 breeder hens tested positive at Dogwood 3, with 75 percent of Cargill's breeder hens exposed since March 12. The virus has led to the destruction of 15,500 turkeys and 13,000 birds already buried at Gobbler Farm near Penn Laird, while officials say the flu poses no food safety risk.
