With the recent confirmation
of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in California dairy
herds, 14 states have been confirmed to have HPAI in dairy herds
as of September 6, 2024. Although HPAI has not been identified in
Pennsylvania dairy herds, it is important to protect our herds and
our operations by remaining vigilant and using the best biosecurity
possible. To help you protect your herd and your operation, the
Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) is offering free testing
of milk through the Pennsylvania Lactating Dairy Cow Health
Monitoring Program
