May 4, 20233 yr comment_70587 On May 3, birds from a small flock in Posey County tested presumptive-positive for the H5 avian influenza virus at the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (ADDL). Samples are being forwarded to the national USDA laboratory for confirmatory testing, with results expected in the next few days. The small flock (Posey1) was reported to BOAH after significant death loss. Because this is a small flock not engaged in commerce (selling birds or eggs), the finding does not negatively impact Indiana’s highly pathogenic avian influenza-free status that was achieved on April 19. No commercial poultry flocks are located within 10-km of Posey1. BOAH is reaching out to local hobby flock owners to offer surveillance testing. County & Flock #: Posey1 Flock Size: 23 Type of Operation: Non-Commercial Status: Quarantined & Depopulated Control Area: N/A Surveillance Zone: Active https://www.in.gov/boah/files/SitUpdate-24-5-4-23-FINAL.pdf Edited May 8, 20233 yr by niman Report
