"HPAI Outbreak: Cows in Multiple States Affected by Mysterious Illness"
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture has confirmed the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza in dairy cattle in Cassia County, with the virus likely transmitted from cow to cow and from infected birds. Symptoms include changes in milk production, appetite, and manure consistency, as well as low-grade fever. The ISDA advises dairy farms to monitor their herds and contact a veterinarian if symptoms appear, but assures consumers that there is no current concern about the safety of the commercial milk supply.
