Avian flu hits second broiler flock in California county

[ad_1]

Eight days after a commercial broiler flock in Tulare County, California, was struck by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), the presence of the virus has been confirmed in another broiler flock there.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) reported that on October 24, HPAI had been confirmed in a flock of 6,000 commercial broilers in Tulare County. That follows another situation when the virus was confirmed in a flock of 786,600 commercial broilers in the county on October 16.

Prior to these two Tulare County flock infections, the last case of HPAI in California to be confirmed involved a commercial turkey flock in Merced County, and that instance was confirmed on September 18.

That Merced County case was the first HPAI infection in North America in nearly two months.

Since that time, six U.S. flocks and five Canadian flocks have been struck by HPAI. All but one of those flocks is in the Pacific Flyway, with the exception being a commercial poultry flock in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, in the Central Flyway.

Other HPAI cases in recent weeks have been in Utah, Washington, Oregon, all in the United States, and British Columbia, Canada.
