But then why did so many chickens die of H1N1 when the bird flu struck us a few years ago? [Please see the postscript below for clarification] Have been wondering if the injections applied in the test performed this time have taken into consideration such factors as the change of season, the change in climatic conditions, the sanitation of the place where the test chickens were kept? In poultry farms, the hygienic condition may not be that good as the one in the laboratory and the poultry there may be more susceptible to disease.

Postscript:
The strain of bird flu that has infected people in Asia and the Middle East is actually the H5N1.
