Thus far we have no indication as to the type of bird flu that they may have detected in Denmark. It could well be a low pathogenic strain, such as the H5N3 that Germany has recently discovered in more than 20 farms.
Tests are pending.

COPENHAGEN - A FLOCK of free-range chickens on a farm in south-western Denmark is suspected of being infected with bird flu, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration said on Monday.
'The suspicion arose following unexpected results in blood tests done as part of routine checks for bird flu,' the agency said in a statement.
The agency added that it had isolated the flock pending further tests. Results would take a few days, it said. -- REUTERS
