Avian influenza detected in southwest Minnesota industrial turkey flock
Extremely pathogenic avian influenza has been detected in a Minnesota industrial turkey flock.
The Minnesota Division of Agriculture says the detection in Redwood County marks the primary time the virus has affected the state since April.
The flock of 20,000 toms confirmed indicators of elevated mortality, and HPAI was confirmed on Tuesday.
Minnesota Board of Animal Well being assistant director Dr. Shauna Voss says vigilance and sturdy biosecurity stay the very best strategies for flock homeowners to guard poultry from avian influenza.
