The Monthly Call Will Be Held on Wednesday, April 9 at 1 p.m. EST
Pennsylvania continues to monitor the cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in dairy cattle and poultry flocks across the United States. The Center for Dairy Excellence will host the next monthly Pennsylvania Agriculture HPAI Conference Call on Wednesday, April 9 at 1 p.m. EST for producers and stakeholders from all animal ag industries.
With the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture continuing to detect HPAI in commercial poultry flocks across the state, panelists will answer questions about required surveillance for dairy farms in the control buffer zones around an infected poultry or dairy premise. This is not the strain that has infected dairy cattle in California and other states. It is the strain that has been transmitted through wild geese in the Eastern Fly-Way Zones. This continues to be part of the quarantine order in an effort to exercise precaution to protect dairy farms and poultry facilities in that area. Panelists will also answer questions about Pennsylvania’s overall response efforts, the ongoing HPAI health situation, biosecurity planning, and more.
Individuals who join the conference call on April 9 will be able to ask real-time questions to each panelist. To ensure as many questions can be addressed as possible, questions can be submitted in advance of the call. Text 717-585-0766 to submit questions or email ctrdairyexcellence@gmail.com.
