OMAHA (DTN) -- The outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza cases in dairy cattle has spread from two states to five with new cases confirmed in Michigan and more "presumptive positive tests" in Idaho and New Mexico, according to federal officials.
USDA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are reporting more cases of "an illness among dairy cows that is causing decreased lactation, low appetite, and other symptoms."
This follows reports on March 25 of highly pathogenic avian influenza in two dairy herds in Texas and two herds in Kansas, USDA stated.
