A leading animal rights group in the Indian state of West Bengal has released film clips which it says shows the appalling state of poultry farming.
Footage taken by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals [Peta] shows crowded, filthy and unhygienic conditions in chicken farms.
They say that their film shows that the conditions the chicken are kept in has led to the spread of the H5N1 virus.
Peta volunteers say the evidence has been compiled over a five year period.
Poultry farmers have denied the group's conclusions and criticised the report as "erroneous".
