Iowa Ag Secretary Mike Naig says poultry producers across the country remain concerned about highly pathogenic avian influenza as spring approaches.
“We’re a year on from the beginning of the most current outbreak,” Naig said. “We’re certainly hoping that spring does not bring a reoccurrence, but we are planning as if it will.”
He tells Brownfield the surge of the virus over the last year was the largest foreign animal disease outbreak in U.S.
