A commercial turkey farm in Dubois County has tested positive for highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza, according to the Indiana State Board of Animal Health.
BOAH was notified by the USDA’s National Veterinary Services Laboratory.
A veterinarian delivered samples from the flock to the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Purdue University for testing after about one hundred birds died. The farm is under quarantine and BOAH is working with the industry to increase monitoring statewide.
