Abbotsford farm facing avian flu outbreak to cull 60,000 birds

Nearly 60,000 turkeys from an Abbotsford farm are expected to be killed Monday after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed a positive test result for avian flu on the weekend.

Security guards were stationed Sunday at the entrance to the family-run E & H farms while agricultural experts prepared for the intricate and time-sensitive process of killing the birds with CO2 gas.
