The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship has lifted its order cancelling live bird exhibitions because of highly pathogenic avian influenza.
Ag Secretary Mike Naig calls the announcement a welcome sign of continued progress in the state’s efforts to effectively manage the avian flu outbreak and protect Iowa’s poultry flocks.
It has been 30 days since USDA confirmed a new infection in domestic poultry in the state.
High-path AI has been confirmed at 19 poultry sites across Iowa, 15 being commercial flocks.
