With a price tag of over $1 billion for indemnity payments, the current outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is expensive. Is premise depopulation still the way to manage HPAI?
Euthanizing animals can be a psychologically traumatic experience for veterinarians — and mass-depopulation events such as those associated with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) are putting the issue front of mind.
Evidence that airborne spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is possible near flocks of wild birds underlines that even extreme biosecurity won’t completely protect egg-production flocks, according to an industry commentator.
A University of Minnesota research team is exploring options for moving uninfected eggs from farms where highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has been diagnosed and making them available to consumers.
Reality is sinking in. HPAI in the US is likely here to stay, and vaccination may be an option for long-term control, reported David Suarez, DVM, PhD, US National Poultry Research Center.
Abrupt rises in mortality from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) can set off alarms at any poultry farm. Such was the case last year with an outbreak in a layer flock in Iowa.

USDA has announced plans to provide an additional $502 million to combat highly pathogenic avian influenza in the US.
Biosecurity remains the best tool for combating highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 viruses in the US, according to a government expert.
Three poultry scientists from Penn State University — Kayla Niel, DVM, Megan Lighty, DVM, PhD, and Jonathan Elissa, DVM — answer questions about HPAI vaccination and whether it should be considered for US flocks.
A new online tool called the Waterfowl Alert Network notifies poultry farms when the risk of a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak is high.
