Additional HPAI cases confirmed in Iowa

Two new cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza have been confirmed in Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship says the virus was found in commercial turkey flocks in Cherokee and Buena Vista counties. Six commercial turkey sites in the state have had positive cases this month.

State Ag Secretary Mike Naig says if poultry producers suspect signs of HPAI in their flocks, they should contact their veterinarian immediately.
