Five possible positive cases of bird flu have been detected in a local poultry flock in Grand Cayman, the Department of Agriculture has confirmed.
The DoA said the flock in question has been “humanely euthanised” and the area placed under quarantine restrictions.
Local poultry farmers are now being advised to “enhance on-farm biosecurity protocols and restrict access to their poultry facilities” as the department awaits results from further testing of the suspected affected flock.
