WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — A fresh warning about the risks of bird flu.
The state Ag Department reminds poultry owners of the ongoing threat of highly pathogenic avian influenza.
The spring migratory period for wild birds brings an increased risk, so DATCP recommends that poultry owners continue using the strongest biosecurity measures to protect their birds.
In Wisconsin last year, 29 domestic flocks in 18 counties were confirmed with bird flu.
Nationwide, more than 58.5 million birds have died, in the largest animal disease outbreak in U.S. history
