Wisconsin Urges Poultry and Dairy Producers to Enhance Biosecurity Amid HPAI Bird Migration

Wisconsin Urges Poultry and Dairy Producers to Enhance Biosecurity Amid HPAI Bird Migration

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is urging poultry and livestock producers to implement heightened biosecurity measures as wild bird migration continues across the state. This comes after eight Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) detections in Wisconsin poultry this year, with four occurring since September, and one confirmed detection in a Wisconsin dairy herd.

State and federal agencies, including DATCP, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are emphasizing the importance of reviewing and strengthening biosecurity practices for all types of producers.
