About one-third of 30 ducks at a farm north of Copenhagen were
killed by the same virus that had been found in Denmark in wild
birds, it said.
A week ago, Danish authorities ordered farmers to keep flocks
indoors after bird flu was found in wild birds.
Bird flu has been found in a number of countries across Europe over
the last two weeks.
During the last case of bird flu in 2006, Denmark lost about 200
million Danish crowns ($28.58 million) in export revenue, the
ministry said.
