H5N1 News: U.K. sets up bird flu database
Stave Ranger writes in C|Net News:
The U.K. government is setting up a central poultry database to help identify any outbreaks of bird flu.
Commercial poultry keepers will be asked to register their flocks as part of an initiative, as no central register exists.
Combining all the information on one database containing the location and size of poultry businesses could be a major advantage to aid effective communication between keepers and help manage any outbreak.
Work will start on the registrations within the next month.
