Northern Sound FM understands that negative results have been returned in a suspected bird flu outbreak on a poultry farm in Scotstown.
The potential case was detected in a flock of 45,000 laying hens in an enriched cage system.
We understand that the results have returned a negative result meaning the flock will not have to be culled.
