400,000 birds culled this month due to HPAI outbreak in Indiana

Indiana is taking steps to protect its commercial poultry from High-Path Avian Flu (HPAI) after more than 400,000 birds were culled this month.

Nearly 20,000 turkeys and three million egg layers have been quarantined in Indiana. In neighboring Ohio, nearly 4 million birds have been impacted by the disease this month.

Most were commercial egg layers, but turkeys have tested positive as well.

The Missouri Department of Agriculture has suspended all poultry and waterfowl auctions, livestock shows, and swap meets in three counties to avoid the spread.
