# USDA Confirms Bird Flu in Indiana Dairy Herd

> The USDA confirmed a new H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza case in a commercial dairy herd in Indiana on November 2, adding another state to the dairy outbreak. APHIS is working with Indiana veterinary authorities to contain it while also managing a New World Screwworm emergency.

## Why it matters

Each new state detection adds to pressure on dairy output and feeds concern over milk-supply safety, which can weigh on dairy-linked feed demand. A single herd confirmation is unlikely to move feed prices on its own.
