|November 11, 2025
A COMMERCIAL turkey farm in Co Monaghan has been confirmed as the latest site of bird flu - raising concerns for poultry operations there.
-
The latest cases were detected in a flock near Clontibret, close to the border.
It is understood the farm is a significant operation, with thousands of turkeys, all of which will be culled. A 3km protection zone and 10km surveillance zone are in place around the site.
This comes after two bird flu outbreaks were detected last week on commercial turkey farms - one in Carlow on Tuesday, with another near Kells in Co Meath on Wednesday.
