Jalisco is estimated that there are more than 80 million birds and according to the results obtained from the farms and inspected, they will be taken next weekend, will depopulate poultry those centers that have tested positive, said Enrique Sánchez Cruz, chief director of the body.
Because there is no treatment to reverse the disease and that it would be affordable, all birds carry the AH7N3 virus will be killed, he said.
