The Kansas Animal Health Commissioner says the agriculture industry has learned a lot about the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus in dairy cattle in the last month, but there’s still a lot to learn.
Dr. Justin Smith says the virus detected in cattle is the same virus that’s been detected in poultry, but the transmission is different.
“We know in cattle right now it’s not highly pathogenic and the fact it doesn’t cause a death loss and we don’t know exactly how it’s being spread from cow-to-cow.
