Rice is grown on 416,000 hectares across Europe and total production amounts to 2.8 million tonnes per year
About 25,000 birds in a poultry farm in Thane near Mumbai will be culled following a bird flu scare.
Dr Bhausaheb Dangde, the CEO of the local body in Thane, told the media that results of tests relating to the sudden death of several chickens confirmed that they died due to H5N1 avian influenza. Samples of the dead birds have been sent to a laboratory for testing.
Sachindra Pratap Singh, commissioner of Animal Husbandry, Maharashtra, said the administration is on high alert.
“We got confirmation last night that the birds were infected with avian influenza,” Singh told the media. All are on alert and measures to contain the spread are in place. “But there is no need to panic,” he added.
