A second farm in the west of the state has found cases of bird flu confirmed.
A Terang property is the latest to have confirmed avian flu.
The property is linked to the Meredith farm where H-7-N-3 was detected earlier this week.
It resulted in a high number of birds being euthenised.
Authorities have restricted the movements of poultry and equipment around the two farms in order to minimise the risk of spread.
Victoria’s Chief Veterinarian Graeme Cooke says they are continuing to work to eradicate the virus.
“We encourage the community to play their part so we can suppress and eliminate this outbreak,” he said.
“Poultry owners who reside within the Restricted and Control Areas are asked to follow the restrictions and to report any unexplained bird deaths.”
It’s also been made clear there is no threat to the public from poultry.
“Consumers should not be concerned about eggs and poultry products from the supermarkets, they do not pose a risk and are safe to consume.”
