The FDA and others reaffirm that the commercial milk supply is safe. The FDA published an update indicating preliminary results of egg inoculation tests on PCR-positive retail milk samples shows that pasteurization is effective in inactivating HPAI. This additional testing did not detect any live, infectious virus.
Producers who believe dairy cattle within their herd are showing clinical signs should report them immediately to their veterinarian and/or state veterinarians. If your veterinarian suspects the disease, the samples they take and submit will have no lab fees. Animals may also be reported to APHIS' toll-free number at 1-866-536-7593.
We will continue to provide updates on relevant information as it becomes available. If you have any questions, please contact Tina Peterson at 608-203-7210.
