Flock of domestic birds euthanized in RI |

Animal control officials euthanized a mixed flock of domestic ducks, turkey, geese and guinea fowl at a farm in southern Washington County, Rhode Island, after the birds tested positive for H5N1 avian flu, the state’s Department of Environmental Management announced.

“DEM’s proactive response plan to H5N1 bird detections includes responding quickly to reports of sick or dying domestic birds, obtaining samples, and submitting these samples to nationally accredited labs for a diagnosis,�� said Scott Marshall, the state veterinarian tasked with leading the state’s H5N1 response, in a statement Friday.
