The prefectural government will cull all chicken raised at the farm and ban the movement of chickens and eggs out of the 10-kilometer radius of the facility.
A sanitary zone is already operating within a radius of three kilometers around the focus of infection, officials said.
The outbreak of bird flu was confirmed through genetic testing after a local livestock health center received a report of an increase in dead chickens at the farm on Thursday. (ILKHA)
