USDA Support for Producers with Affected Dairy Premises |
To help producers enhance their biosecurity
practices, USDA is offering additional support for producers who
have HPAI confirmed positive dairy herds so they have tools to
eliminate the virus and can protect their animals, themselves,
their families, and their employees. |

AABP Guidance on USDA Federal Order |
On Wednesday April 24, USDA APHIS announced plans to implement interstate movement requirements for
lactating dairy cows. This Federal Order will be implemented on Monday April 29. It is critical that veterinarians
understand and comply with the order. AABP leadership have attended the USDA announcements, and we are
providing this update to our members to assist them in navigating these requirements. |

APHIS Recommendations for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 Virus in Livestock For State Animal Health Officials, Accredited Veterinarians and Producers
|
Based on this analysis, we have learned that the whole genome sequence for viruses found on two recent commercial poultry premises in two different states indicates it is the same clade that is affecting dairy cattle. While it is unclear exactly how virus is being moved around, the virus is shed in milk at high concentrations; therefore, anything that comes in contact with unpasteurized milk, spilled milk, etc. may spread the virus including humans, other animals, vehicles, and other objects or materials. Therefore, both dairy and poultry producers should re-double biosecurity efforts and be vigilant about monitoring for and controlling disease in their herds and flocks. |
