Spring migration is just around the corner, and with recent cases of HPAI, poultry producers need to be on higher alert, especially in states dappled with lakes and wetlands.
A Minnesota state veterinarian says that producers need to update their biosecurity plans.
Minnesota is known as a “high-risk area” due to the large number of turkeys raised near the water. The vet says that it is not a matter of if it comes to the state, but when.
In 2015, more than a hundred Minnesota farms were affected by the virus and about 9,000,000 birds were culled.
