It was found in the farm of Laxmi Rana of Gondrang at Bharatpur-9 and that of Rajendra Hamal of Mangalpur VDC- 7.[break]
The bird flu was confirmed, as the sample was sent for test in the Central Lab by the Bird Disease Research Laboratory, Bharatpur on April 15.
Test was delayed as Rana prohibited the entry of lab employees in the farm to acquire information after it was known that chickens died on April 8.
There were some 60,000 layers species of chickens in Rana´s farm and 4,000 in the farm of Hamal.
Culling is underway in the farms, said District Livestock Office Chitwan Chief Ram Kumar Karki.
A large number of chickens were said to have died in Rana´s farm.
More than Rs. 25 billion has been invested in poultry in this district regarded as a leading district for poultry.
However, farmers and consumers alike are terrorized from it.
