POULTRY OWNERS:
This morning (Wednesday 11/22), the Ohio Poultry Association released notice that Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been detected in one of the commercial layer flocks in Union County.
HPAI in commercial or backyard flocks often originates from wild, migratory birds. It is highly contagious, spreads quickly among flocks, and may be fatal to the birds.
