All cows are not fully recovering. Some of the cows after recovering from the virus are not producing milk and do not put weight back on. Some of these are being cullled by farmers. What I do not understand is there is no mandatory reporting as well as only limited testing for cows and workers...

From MSU. "What happens in a dairy herd with HPAI? What should I expect if my herd became infected? This case report describes what one farmer has faced since herd infection began." https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/hpai-dairy-herd-infection-case-report

Now aphis is showing 2 hatcheries affected in Roosevelt Co., NM. The April 12 with 61,500 birds and also April 15 with 15,300 birds. On April 16 another case of layers in Ionia Co, MI. with 2,422,700 birds. This is adding up to be a lot of birds just this month. 🥺

Prayers for you and your flock.
