The markets and the livestock industry continue to monitor High Path Avian Flu cases. Overall cases appear to have slowed but health experts at USDA warn that cow-to-cow spread is a factor in how the virus is moving.
Veterinarians at the University of Illinois say they have long believed the virus was moving from cow to cow. USDA says while it is a factor in how the cases are spreading, they are still not able to pinpoint its exact movement.
Several states have put their own rules when it comes to cattle movement, and USDA says that should help avoid any kind of federal regulatory restrictions.
