Egg Drop Syndrome Virus impacting some northern Indiana farms

Twenty-one farms in northern Indiana have reported Egg Drop Syndrome Virus.

Denise Derrer Spears, public information director with the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, describes some of the signs of the rare virus.

“Producers will see a drop in egg production and when the eggs are produced, they will have no shell or very thin shells,” she says.

And, Derrer Spears, says the virus is more common in brown-egg laying chickens.
