Feds take action to combat avian influenza
USDA’s APHIS is issuing a federal order to combat the growing threat of H5N1 avian influenza.

Beginning Monday, April 29, all dairy cattle will be required to have a negative HPAI test before being transported across state lines. Herd owners with cattle testing positive will be required to provide epidemiologic information, including animal movement tracing.
