The Nebraska Department of Agriculture is reminding poultry owners to continue to monitor their birds for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), a disease.
“It’s important for all poultry producers to know the signs and symptoms of the disease and to continue to practice good biosecurity measures to help prevent the spread of the disease into their flocks,” State Veterinarian Dr. Roger Dudley said. “While our HPAI detections have slowed since last year, we are still experiencing the disease in the state, and we want producers to continue to be vigilant in protecting their flocks.”
Since January, there has been three confirmed cases of HPAI in backyard flocks in Nebraska. The confirmed cases were found in Scotts Bluff, Lincoln and Sheridan counties.
