First HPAI case confirmed in Indiana since Sept. 1

A commercial turkey flock has tested presumptive-positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza in Daviess County, Indiana.

The Indiana State Board of Animal Health says until now, the last confirmed positive case in the state was Sept. 1, when a small non-commercial flock in Elkhart County tested positive for HPAI.  

Samples from the flock of more than 11,000 birds will be tested at the national USDA laboratory in Iowa for confirmation.

A six-mile control area and surveillance zone have been established.
