Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza has been detected in a commercial meat duck facility in Elkhart County, Indiana.
The Indiana State Board of Animal Health says 3,500 birds will be depopulated and an approximately 6.2-mile control area with a more than 12-mile surveillance zone in portions of LaGrange, Elkhart, and Noble counties has been established.
Indiana is a leading producer of poultry, eggs, and poultry products. It ranks first in duck production, third in eggs, third in commercial turkey production, and produces a significant number of broilers.
Avian influenza does not present a food safety risk.
BOAH also reminds dairy producers to be vigilant in their surveillance. According to rules established by the USDA, lactating dairy cattle must have a negative test before interstate movement. The department has also expanded surveillance through testing milk at the farm or processor level to establish the health status of herds, as well as states.
