The Ministry of Food and Agriculture has confirmed a new outbreak of avian influenza on a poultry farm in Tarkwa, a suburb of Takoradi in the Western Region. In 2015, five regions including Greater Accra, Central, Western, Ashanti and Volta recorded outbreaks.
Ghana culled over 50,000 birds on farms in three regions as a result of Avian Influenza outbreak last year, leading to the temporary ban on the sale and movement of live birds within the capital to prevent further outbreaks.
