South Dakota officials are overseeing the depopulation of a mixed poultry operation after high-path avian influenza was confirmed over the weekend.
Dr. Mendel Miller is the Assistant State Veterinarian for the South Dakota Animal Industry Board. He tells Brownfield, “It’s a mixed poultry operation so there’s a mixture of turkeys and chickens. Overall, we’re looking at close to 50,000 total.”
Miller tells Brownfield poultry producers large and small should be watching for the signs of the disease.
