South Africa has detected 24 outbreaks of H5N8 bird flu since June, including 10 at commercial chicken farms and three at ostrich farms, according to Agriculture Minister Senzeni Zokwana. RCL Foods said the outbreaks at its farms cost it 50 million rand ($3.84 million).
The strain is considered unlikely to infect humans.
