Police put up roadblocks around the farms to prevent movement of people and fowl, and agriculture officials said hundreds of thousands of birds might need to be destroyed to contain the outbreak.
In a rare act of cooperation, Israel was also testing dead fowl found in the West Bank and Gaza on behalf of the Palestinian Authority to try to control the spread of the virus.
However, it is unclear what the scale of cooperation will be once a Hamas-led government takes office in Palestinian areas. The Islamist group, expected to name its cabinet within days, won elections in January and Israel has vowed not to have direct contacts with it.
