What are the symptoms of Avian Influenza?
Unusual deaths, sudden illness, breathing difficulty or neurological changes in a flock need urgent investigation. These signs are not unique to bird flu. Avoid unnecessary handling and movement and contact your veterinarian and the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888. Use official advice rather than relying on a symptom list to exclude disease.
Symptoms overlap with other diseases
Changes in breathing, behaviour or survival in a flock require investigation. Only appropriate veterinary and official assessment can establish the cause; a symptom list cannot exclude avian influenza.
