Avian Influenza detected in another commercial turkey flock in Indiana

Avian influenza has been detected in another commercial turkey flock in southern Indiana.

The Indiana State Board of Animal Health says testing in Dubois County identified H5 avian influenza virus. Samples are being verified at USDA’s National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Iowa. BOAH says pending test results should indicate if the virus is the same as the index farm diagnosed on Feb. 9 and if it’s highly pathogenic.

This is the fifth farm diagnosed with avian influenza in Indiana.
