HIGH PATH AVIAN
INFLUENZA DETECTED IN UNITED STATES
The recent detection
of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a Tennessee farm shows that HPAI
still poses a great risk to Pennsylvania’s poultry population. The department
is closely monitoring the situation and Pennsylvania’s flocks. But the first
line of defense is proper biosecurity protocol on your own operation. Is your
flock registered with the Department of Agriculture? Do you have a flock plan
in place? Do you follow best biosecurity protocols? Review this information and
protect your poultry from harm.
