HPAI detected in Randolph County, Indiana

Another case of highly pathogenic avian influenza has been detected in Indiana.

The latest case was detected in a non-commercial hobby flock in Randolph County.

Indiana’s State Board of Animal Health says 70 birds will be depopulated.

This is the eighth case of H5N1 since the start of the year. 

Avian influenza does not present a food safety risk. BOAH also reminds dairy producers to be vigilant in their surveillance. According to rules established by the USDA, lactating dairy cattle must have a negative test before interstate movement.  The department has also expanded surveillance through testing milk at the farm or processor level to establish the health status of herds, as well as states.
