Another case of bird flu has been confirmed in Nebraska. The case, which is from a backyard flock in Knox County, brings the total number of avian influenza cases to 14 this year.
According to a press release from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, the flock has since been depopulated and disposed of in an approved manner. NDA is encouraging bird owners to prevent contact between their birds and wildlife to lower the risk of them catching HPAI.
If producers suspect signs of bird flu in their flock, they should report it to the Nebraska Department of Ag immediately by calling 402-471-2351. More info on the bird flu can be found at healthybirds.aphis.usda.gov.
