Colorado: 1.3M hens to be culled due to HPAI
18 July, 2024
Colorado is reporting an avian flu incident at a 1.3 million-bird laying farm in Weld County. This incident follows a report earlier this month of a farm with over 1.8 million layers also testing positive for the H5N1 bird flu virus.
The rationale for culling affected poultry flocks is unclear, especially when dairy herd farms, which serve as focal points of transmission with low biosecurity, are not destroyed.
