Nebraska is second only to Iowa's 15.5 million birds killed with 6.8 million birds now affected at 13 farms.
Nebraska agriculture officials say another 1.8 million chickens must be killed after bird flu was found on a farm in the latest sign that the outbreak that has already prompted the slaughter of more than 50 million birds nationwide continues to spread.
Nebraska is second only to Iowa's 15.5 million birds killed with 6.8 million birds now affected at 13 farms. The virus is primarily spread by wild birds as they migrate across the country. Wild birds can often carry the disease without showing symptoms. The virus spreads through droppings or the nasal discharge of an infected bird, which can contaminate dust and soil.
