ATLANTA (RFD-TV) — There is welcome news out of Georgia in the ongoing effort to stop the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in the United States.
Following an October detection in a commercial flock, the state has officially regained its virus-free status. The designation, recognized by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), once again opens the door for poultry exports from the state.
Georgia Ag Commissioner Tyler Harper said a rapid response helped contain the virus within a day. He also said poultry producers across the state are being asked to remain vigilant, keep wild birds away from flocks, and maintain strict biosecurity protocols as the virus continues to circulate nationwide.
