Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Preparedness
Between December 2014 and June 2015, an outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) occurred in the Pacific Northwest and the Mid-western states, infecting a total of 211 commercial and 21 backyard poultry premises and resulting in the destruction of 49.6 million birds. Since waterfowl are the natural reservoir of the avian influenza virus and the state of Georgia is in the Atlantic flyway commercial poultry and backyard birds continue to be at risk. Click here for more information about HPAI, the testing available at UGA laboratories, and how you can help protect your flocks.
