"Rising Concerns: HPAI Detected in Livestock"

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, along with other agencies, is investigating cases of illness in older dairy cows, likely due to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). They are providing resources and assistance to livestock producers for implementing biosecurity measures, including offering farm loans for measures such as installing physical barriers, purchasing disinfectants, covering veterinary costs, and more. Producers can access online tools and local assistance to navigate the loan process and find relevant information on the USDA's Farm Service Agency website.
