The Baqai College of Veterinary Sciences has said that the 'Influenza' which has affected chickens was not dangerous to humans.
According to a statement issued here by the college on Friday, the 'Influenza' that has affected the chickens was different from that which normally catches the humans.

It said that the disease could be contained if the poultry farmers followed the simple hygienic rules of business.
It further noted that a number of diseases among humans and chickens were common in names and have different affects on the body.
