At a duck farm in Chiba Prefecture, east of Tokyo, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Chiba Prefectural Government said Thursday, an outbreak of avian influenza thought to be highly pathogenic has been reported.
Approximately 12,400 ducks will be culled for food, including 6,000 at the Yokoshibahikari town farm and 6,300 chicks shipped from the farm in the past week to six prefectures, including neighboring Ibaraki.
The nine farms in Akabira in Hokkaido, Kakuda in Miyagi, Koga and Kasumigaura, both in Ibaraki, Gyoda and Kasukabe, both in Saitama, Matsubara in Osaka and Gose in Nara, are subject to duck culling in the six prefectures.
This is the first bird flu outbreak this season affecting ducks, although a number of outbreaks have been reported all over the country for other species. After receiving a warning on Wednesday morning that ducks there had stopped laying eggs,
the Chiba government carried out an on-site inspection of the Yokoshibahikari farm.
