\nThe company behind the commercial turkey farm in southern Indiana where bird flu was found says it is working closely with state and federal officials.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Friday the H7N8 flu strain was confirmed at a farm in Dubois County after samples from birds were taken when the farm saw a surge in turkey deaths.<\/p>\n

Indiana Board of Animal Health spokeswoman Denise Derrer said Saturday all 60,000 turkeys on the farm had been euthanized.<\/p>\n

It’s a different strain than the H5N2 virus that led to the deaths of about 48 million turkeys and chickens last summer.<\/p>\n

Huntingburg-based Farbest Farms said in a news release Friday that its surveillance protocol quickly detected the virus. The company produces about 15 million turkeys a year.
