Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) is still circulating in the US, with the number of cases in both commercial and backyard flocks increasing as we head into fall. To date, we have seen 459 cases in the country, affecting over 45 million poultry across 40 states. Wild bird positives are nearing 2,500 for the country. Now, we are seeing cases increase with the weather cooling and the fall migration beginning.
All poultry famers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts are invited to join Cornell Cooperative Extension's Livestock Program Work Team and NYS Agriculture and Markets to learn more about this disease, what we know so far about the current outbreak, and how we should prepare moving into the heart of the fall migration.
This event is free to the public and will be held over Zoom on Wednesday, October 12, 2022 from 7:00pm - 8:00pm.
Registration is required by visiting https://www.tinyurl.com/HPAIFall22.
The presentation will be recorded for those who are not able to attend the meeting and will be automatically sent to those who have registered. We will have ample time for Q&A following the official program, so please bring your questions to have them answered by our experts! If you are a flock owner or community member with questions about the outbreak or steps that you can take to protect your flock, please reach out to your local Cornell Cooperative Extension office for assistance.
