More than 4,000 ducks were culled in Bulgaria over the past few days after avian influenza was found on three duck farms. Some 3,150 of the ducks were from a farm in the southern village of Manole, another 900 ducks were from a farm in the northwestern town of Vratsa and several dozen of birds were from the village of Novo Selo on the river Danube. The avian influenza strain involved is H5N8.
