Third Dubois County farm found with avian flu
ByLocal Sources
February 23, 2022

A third Dubois County farm has been found to have the H5 avian influenza virus present in its flock. Officials are waiting to hear from the USDA National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Iowa for confirmation and if it is the same highly pathogenic virus diagnosed on February 9.

Depopulation efforts are underway on the newly identified farm which houses 35,908 birds.

The newly identified farm is about two-and-a-half miles away from the first farm so officials have established another 10 km circle in Dubois County. All commercial poultry within this new control area will be quarantined and tested regularly for the duration of this event — until the control area is lifted. About half of those farms are in the existing control area. (All 19 farms in this control area are already within a previously established control area.)...

State of Indiana Response to
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza

Note: New information is highlighted in BOLD ITALIC type.

STATEWIDE SUMMARY:

Total number of affected premises =6
Total number of affected counties = 2
Premises by County/Number of flocks
Dubois: 4
Greene: 2

Total number of birds affected in Indiana
Commercial Turkeys: 171,260

CURRENT SITUATION

Avian influenza has been detected in an additional commercial poultry flock.

DUBOIS4:  Laboratory testing of a commercial flock of turkeys in Dubois County has identified H5 avian
influenza virus. This is considered a presumptive-positive case, and samples are being verified at the USDA
National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) in Iowa. This is the sixth farm (known as Dubois4) in Indiana to
be diagnosed with avian influenza. Pending verification test results should indicate if the virus is the same as
the index farm diagnosed on Feb. 9 and if the virus is highly pathogenic.

Depopulation efforts are underway on the premises, which houses 16,479 birds. 

The location of Dubois4 is approximately 6/10 of a mile south from the Dubois3 site; therefore, a sixth 10-km
circle control area has been established. All commercial poultry within this control area will be
quarantined and tested regularly for the duration of this event (i.e., until the control area is lifted).

The duck flock has an estimated 4,000 birds, the agency said.

The animal health board in an announcement Thursday night did not say whether the ducks would be destroyed, as happened with six turkey farms in southern Indiana’s Dubois and Greene counties...
