These flocks were quarantined to stop movement off the infected farms, as well as being carefully monitored for any clinical disease.\u00a0 Unlike highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), wherein flocks must be destroyed, poultry flocks that recover from LPAI can be sent to market via \u201ccontrolled marketing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under \u201ccontrolled marketing\u201d, the flock must first be routinely tested to track recovery and to establish that the flock is consistently test-negative for influenza.\u00a0 If so, then the flock can be cleared by the Board of Animal Health for market. The last negative test has to be within seven days of slaughter. \u00a0As well, transport to slaughter is carefully controlled (special routes, transport vehicles\/equipment) and timing of transport and slaughter are optimized to provide plenty of time for disinfection of transport and processing facilities prior to re-use. If \u201ccontrolled marketing\u201d is used, then the farm is not eligible for flock indemnity.<\/p>\n<p>For any flock, avoiding infection with transmissible diseases is the best policy.\u00a0 Please continue to check your flock\u2019s biosecurity status and keep your farm safe.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good idea to periodically check the USDA site to find out more: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/animalhealth\/defendtheflock\">www.aphis.usda.gov\/animalhealth\/defendtheflock<\/a>.\u00a0 Click on the Resources link for updated biosecurity information.<\/p>\n<p>As well, here is a good site for rodent control ideas: <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cwcallah\/2016\/10\/14\/rats-and-other-rodents\/\">http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cwcallah\/2016\/10\/14\/rats-and-other-rodents\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1-2-2019: Update on low pathogenic avian influenza (per Eric Gingrich): Low-pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) does not pose a risk to public health or food safety.\u00a0 However, due to negative impacts on poultry health, when LPAI positive flocks are detected they are reported to state and national authorities.\u00a0 In addition to increased monitoring of the positive [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":1228,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3,44],"class_list":["post-1225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-ai","tag-avian-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
