Bird Flu Detected in Michigan Poultry Facility, Quarantine Measures Implemented

A recent outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has been confirmed at a commercial poultry facility in Ottawa County, Michigan, marking the first case since May 2024. The Michigan Department of Agriculture emphasizes the importance of biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of this contagious virus among poultry and protect public health. Farmers are urged to monitor their flocks closely and implement strict hygiene protocols as winter conditions increase the risk of HPAI transmission.
