Poultry producers wary of bird flu’s return to Minnesota

Associated Press  

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota’s poultry producers are monitoring cases of bird flu found in wild birds in other parts of the United States and Canada. “With the number of detections that they’re picking up in essentially healthy wild birds, we know that it’s circulating and that it’s going to be present in those populations,” said Minnesota Board of Animal Health senior veterinarian Shauna Voss. “I think it’s not a matter of if it comes to Minnesota — it’s when.” According to the state Agriculture Department, Minnesota has about 550 commercial turkey operations and more than 3,000 poultry farms. “Producers in the high-risk area are scared,” said Jill Nezworski, a poultry veterinarian in Buffalo Lake and a Minnesota Turkey Growers Association board member.
