USDA identified highly pathogenic avian influenza in dairy cattle herds in Texas and Kansas, with samples from two farms in each state testing positive. Wild migratory birds are the likely source, and officials say the commercial milk supply is not a concern.
This is the first confirmed spillover of avian influenza into US livestock, which could affect dairy herd output and milk supply. Producers are being urged to step up biosecurity.
