Wisconsin backyard flock culled after HPAI case, following Washington outbreaks

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection ordered the euthanasia of a backyard poultry flock in Rusk County after confirming a highly pathogenic avian influenza infection. Earlier in the week, Washington state officials confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza at a commercial poultry facility in Pierce County and placed the site under quarantine while monitoring exposed workers. Subsequent testing of dead birds recovered from Lake Tye Park in Monroe also returned positive for the virus, and health officials said the risk to the public remained low.
