Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says USDA’s new H5N1 Dairy Herd Status Pilot Program provides an incentive for dairy farms to participate in a testing regime so they can move dairy cattle more freely across state lines.
“Which would be a benefit to many producers who are currently not impacted or affected by the virus.”
Vilsack says there are many factors to consider when figuring out how Influenza A spreads and it’s not just the transfer of livestock.
