Dead hen bird flu tests negative

Preliminary tests taken after dozens of dead chickens were discovered on a farm in Orkney [Scotland] have proved negative for bird flu, it has been confirmed. Analysis for the deadly H5N1 virus was carried out at the Veterinary Laboratory Agency in Weybridge, Surrey. About 100 dead birds were found at Bon Accord Farm, Sandwick, on Wednesday. A Scottish Executive spokesman said further tests would take place to confirm the findings, with results due next week.
