Meanwhile, mortality rates among California’s infected cows are higher than anticipated and the virus is detected in a pig for the first time in the US.The last time I reported on the bird flu, California appeared to be the new epicenter for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza as up to 11 of the state’s dairy workers at herds impacted by the pathogen
The agency in early November will begin sampling milk in states where dairy cattle have contracted bird flu, including testing specific farms as needed to track the virus’ spread, Vilsack said in an interview.The rapid spread of the virus in California, where nearly 200 dairy herds have tested positive since late August, contributed to the USDA’s decision that further surveillance efforts are needed, Vilsack said.
Although dairy operators had been told to expect a mortality rate of less than 2%, preliminary reports suggest that 10% to 15% of infected cattle are dying, according to veterinarians and dairy farmers. Beal’s observations were confirmed by others during a Sept. 26 webinar for dairy farmers that was hosted by the California Dairy Quality Assurance Program — an arm of the industry-funded California Dairy Research Foundation. A summary of the findings and observations was reported in a newsletter published earlier this week by the program.
The USDA said there is no risk to the nation’s pork supply from the Oregon case and that the risk to the public from bird flu remains low.
