Bad news: Chicken flu is here

This is sure to devastate our chicken industry further...

The local chicken industry was already decimated by cheap imports from Thailand and Viet Nam, which were hit by the flu earlier this year. However, it has now been found in the Philippines, probably spread thru migrating fowl...

and the public is told it's okay to eat the meat if it is
cooked...a fact that is confirmed HERE...you catch it from feces...but no answer if farmers who use chicken manure to fertilize the fields are at risk...and we have just finished mixing chicken manure into our fields and have planted the rice...

One more thing to worry about, after diarrhea (which is going around) and influenza (which we had) and Dengue fever...
