Two farms in bird flu infection

Two poultry farms, close to a farm in Norfolk infected with bird flu, have found the disease in their livestock. The latest infected areas are close to Witford Lodge Farm, where some 35,000 chickens were slaughtered after an avian flu strain was found.

The government said initial tests showed the farms were affected by a less serious strain than the deadly H5N1 which killed a swan in Fife.

Two free range flocks will be slaughtered, officials said.
