Netherlands kills 1.9L chickens over 'highly-contagious bird flu strain'
Dutch authorities have culled around 1.9 lakh chickens after a bird flu outbreak on at least two poultry farms. In both the cases "a highly-contagious strain of the H5 variant" was suspected, the agriculture ministry said. There were no other poultry farms within a one-kilometre radius of the outbreaks.
