Investigations are continuing in a bid to trace the source of a bird flu outbreak which prompted the cull of 8,000 Gressingham ducks at a farm near Attleborough.
Animal health experts are working at Homelea Farm in Great Ellingham to assess all possible routes of spread both into and out of the site, where the avian influenza virus was confirmed on Saturday.
The farm is run by Green Label Poultry which supplies Suffolk-based Gressingham Foods, the UK s biggest supplier of duck to supermarkets.
The culling of ducks at Homelea Farm is a desperate attempt to stop the spread of the highly pathogenic H5N8 strain of avian influenza, which is already wreaking havoc across East Anglia s valuable poultry industry this winter.
It follows two cases confirmed earlier this month which prompted the slaughter of around 55,000 turkeys in the run-up to Christmas.

Up to 30,000 were culled at a farm near King s Lynn, with a similar amount killed at North Farm in Snetterton - just 3km from the Ellingham outbreak.

A duck breeding farm near Attleborough has become Norfolk s third confirmed case of bird flu this month.
Defra says all 8,000 birds on the premises will now be humanely culled in an effort to stop the spread of the highly pathogenic H5N8 strain of avian influenza, which has become a major threat to East Anglia s valuable poultry industry this winter.
It follows two cases confirmed earlier this month which prompted the cull of around 55,000 turkeys in the run-up to Christmas - one at a farm near King s Lynn and another at North Farm in Snetterton, which is only about 3km away from the new outbreak.
