NSW: NSW poultry expo cancelled
The biennial NSW Poultry Expo scheduled for today has been cancelled amid supplier fears
chickens would become infected by the deadly Newcastle disease.
Chicken farmers have pulled out of the expo, to be held in the Hunter Valley, after news
broke of another outbreak of the disease last week at a farm in western Sydney.
More than 8,000 birds from the Schofields farm infected with the deadly disease have been
slaughtered this week.
The expo has been re-scheduled for next year.
