Bird flu restrictions cause heartache for kids unable to show off livestock at fairs across US
Bird flu restrictions cause heartache for kids unable to show off livestock at fairs across US
States have tightened restrictions on dairy cows following the bird flu outbreak that has spread to millions of poultry flocks nationwide and nearly 200 dairy herds across 13 US states since March. More than a dozen farmworkers also have been infected this year, with all experiencing relatively mild symptoms.
The risk to humans from the bird flu virus remains low, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The virus has further strained businesses already battered by pandemic disruptions, leading to millions of dollars in losses and worker layoffs. Michigan’s largest egg producer, Herbruck’s Poultry Ranch, laid off close to 400 employees following an outbreak of bird flu at their farms.
