Nearly 2 million head of poultry depopulated due to HPAI, all eyes on ag biosecurity News NEWS | Jul 12, 2024 Rachel Gabel The most recent report of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has resulted in the depopulation of 1.8 million head of poultry at a commercial table egg facility in Weld County, Colorado. Colorado State Veterinarian Dr. Maggie Baldwin said the state’s dairies and poultry facilities have cooperated with her office diligently to reduce the spread of HPAI. Baldwin said the monitoring, testing and reporting of HPAI in Colorado is a result of the cooperation between producers and partners, including the State Veterinarian’s office and is important to reduce the spread between dairies and poultry facilities. “Do I think Colorado has the most cases in the nation? No. Do I think Colorado has the most reported cases in the nation? Yes. Absolutely,” Baldwin said. ... Baldwin said in the past two years, she has seen spillover of HPAI from wild birds into poultry facilities but the dairy event is completely separate and not carried and shed by wild birds. The initial introduction into dairies was one single spillover event by wild birds into dairy farms. “All of the subsequent spread of this disease has been direct and indirect contact from dairy farm to dairy farm,” she said. “Now, the risk we have is much greater for our poultry industry because we have a virus that is spreading from mammal to mammal, from cow to cow, from dairy to dairy and now we have so much of it in the northeast part of the state that it is posing a significant risk to our poultry farms.” DJ, One may be able to replace milk-products.
