Wisconsin has three new cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza, bringing the total number of affected premises to seven. The state now has four non-commercial or backyard flocks and three commercial flocks affected by the virus.
Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection officials say 20-thousand birds will be depopulated from a commercial turkey operated by Jenny-O near Centuria in Polk County. Forty-four birds in Columbia County and 15 birds in Sheboygan County also tested positive for the disease.
