Leyte towns unite to protect poultry industry

TACLOBAN CITY: Four municipalities in Leyte have formed task units to oversee the entry of live domestic and wild poultry into their respective areas in order to safeguard the local poultry and game fowl industry.

This came up when the Department of Agriculture (DA) Region 8 (Eastern Visayas) discovered the first occurrence of avian influenza, or bird flu, in Kananga, Leyte.
