Bird flu cull farms not infected

Turkeys culled at two farms over fears of exposure to bird flu have tested negative for the deadly H5N1 strain.

Birds at Stone House in West Harling and Bridge Farm in Pulham, both in Norfolk, were judged to have been in "dangerous contact" with the disease.

The farms are run by Redgrave Poultry, the owner of two farms in Norfolk and Suffolk, where H5N1 has been confirmed.

Tests on culled birds at a fifth premises - Grove Farm, in Botesdale, Suffolk - indicate it was disease-free.
