They've detected a case of avian flu in a crane in Navarre
It is a passing crane (wild bird) found dead in a wetland in Arguedas, which, in any case, has not yet been positive on Navarre farms.
The first case of avian influenza was detected in a crane in Navarre, according to the Foral Government this Tuesday.
It is the bird that has been found dead in a pond in Argedas that has been positive. In any case, to this day, there has been no positive on farms and poultry farms.
As explained by the Department of Rural Development, a number of other samples are being analyzed in the laboratory, all of them migratory birds (cranes).
Councillor Jose Mari Aierdi says migratory movements make it common to infect wild birds. However, he asks those responsible for poultry farms to step up preventive measures, since if a case is detected, all birds must be slaughtered.
