The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) confirmed H5N1 avian influenza in 3 more
dairy herds, 2 in Colorado and 1 in Iowa, raising its number of
affected herds to 129 in 12 states.
In related developments, Iowa yesterday [25 Jun 2024] became the
latest state to announce new testing requirements for dairy cattle
participating in state exhibitions and fairs. The order goes into
effect on July 1 [2024].
In an update announcing the testing requirement, the state’s
agriculture secretary Mike Naig reiterated a request for USDA support
for affected farms and thanked Iowa farmers for their cooperation with
testing and research efforts. Officials said the USDA has authorized
more epidemiological strike teams to help with investigations on
affected poultry and dairy farms.
