The Department of Agriculture has recently provided updates on the bird flu outbreak affecting dairy farms, causing concerns about the impact on food and milk supply. While federal authorities have been working to reassure the public that there is no threat to food safety, evidence now suggests that the outbreak among cows may be more serious than initially believed.
According to the latest reports from the Department of Agriculture, the virus is now spreading among cows and has even been transmitted to poultry. This worrisome development comes after bird flu infections were detected in a cattle herd in North Carolina, where the animals showed no symptoms of the illness. This indicates that the infections may be more widespread than previously thought.
In response to these findings, the U.S.D.A. has announced that they will now begin reimbursing farms for testing cows without symptoms in an effort to control the spread of the virus. While farms are not currently required to test cattle for infection, this new measure aims to encourage proactive testing and monitoring to prevent further outbreaks.
As the situation continues to evolve, the Department of Agriculture is urging farmers to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect their livestock and the food supply. The public is advised to stay informed and follow any updates or guidelines provided by federal authorities to ensure the safety and security of the nation’s agricultural industry.
