Two more cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza are being reported in Iowa.
Iowa Agriculture Secretary Mike Naig says a commercial layer facility in Guthrie County in central Iowa and a commercial turkey facility in Hamilton County in north-central Iowa are the latest infections.
“We are now at nine cases total in the state of Iowa, two backyard flocks (and) seven commercial operations.”
He says they are following well established response procedures in part to minimize trade disruptions.
