The enhanced observation of the Bulgarian poultry farms continues due to the outbreaks of avian influenza in this country. A total of 26 bird flu cases were confirmed until the middle of November in Dobrich, Plovdiv, Haskovo, Stara Zagora and Yambol districts. The outbreak and spread of avian influenza is mainly due to breaches of biosecurity in the farms, free range bird farming and low levels of bio security during the transportation of birds, experts contend. The European Commission recommends that the Bulgarian authorities extend the avian influenza prevention zones.
