The avian flu, which killed 2,600 turkeys at a Suffolk farm, has been confirmed as the H5N1 virus.
The 159,000 other turkeys on the farm will now have to be slaughtered.
The strain can be fatal if it is passed on to humans but experts said the outbreak was being contained and posed little danger to people.
A spokesman for Bernard Matthews, which runs the farm, said none of the affected birds had entered the food chain and there was no risk to health.
A 3 km protection zone and a 10km surveillance zone will be set up around Holton, which is approximately 27km south-west of Lowestoft.
