After months of no reports, APHIS is showing new outbreaks of High Pathogenic Avian Flu (HPAI).
In one week, nearly 200,000 birds were affected by the virus. More than 141,000 birds died at a commercial turkey facility in central Utah. In South Dakota, 47,000 birds were also culled at a turkey operation.
