    Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Detected in Jackson and Ottawa County Flocks

    ​December 30, 2024

    Following an investigation by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), the Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory has detected the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a commercial poultry facility located in Ottawa County. This is the second detection of HPAI in an Ottawa County flock this month. Biosecurity measures continue to be critical to help ensure the health of Michigan's domestic animals and the general public.

    "Slowing the spread of HPAI to protect human health is a top priority at MDARD," said MDARD Director Tim Boring. "Implementing on-farm biosecurity and expanding the state's HPAI surveillance efforts are key strategies to prevent opportunities for the virus to infect domestic animal species and potentially spread and become a more concerning human threat."
    ​-snip-
    "Even though the weather is cold, HPAI continues to circulate in wild bird populations creating ideal conditions for the virus to thrive and spread," said State Veterinarian Dr. Nora Wineland, DVM, MS, DACVPM. "It's critical to prevent disease introduction by taking biosecurity measures such as keeping domestic animals away from wild birds and cleaning and disinfecting equipment between uses."​

    Reporting Possible Cases

    For Domestic Birds
    Domestic bird owners and caretakers should watch for multiple sudden deaths in the flock, a drop in egg production, a significant decrease in water consumption, diarrhea, sneezing/coughing, or an increase in sick birds. If avian influenza is suspected in domestic birds, contact MDARD immediately at 800-292-3939 (daytime) or 517-373-0440 (after-hours).

    For Wild Birds
    If anyone notices what appears to be unusual or unexplained deaths among wild bird populations, please report these cases to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) by:
    • Using the DNR's Eyes in the Field app. Choose the Diseased Wildlife option among the selections for Observation Forms.
    • Calling the DNR Wildlife Disease Laboratory at 517-336-5030.

                  Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Detected in Oakland County Flock

                  ​January 09, 2025

                  Using personal protective equipment and other biosecurity protocols remain essential to protecting both animal and public health

                  LANSING, MI — Following an investigation by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), the Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory has detected the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a backyard flock from Oakland County. This is the second case of HPAI in Oakland County since the virus was first detected in Michigan in 2022. Adhering to biosecurity measures and using personal protective equipment (PPE) continue to be vital in helping ensure the health of Michigan's domestic animals and the general public.


                  HPAI is a highly contagious virus that can be spread in various ways from flock to flock, including by wild birds, through contact with infected animals, by equipment, and on the clothing and shoes of caretakers. The affected premises is currently under quarantine, and the birds will be depopulated to prevent disease spread.

                  According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the public health risk associated with avian influenza remains low. Also, no birds or bird products infected with HPAI will enter the commercial food chain. As a reminder, people should properly handle and cook all poultry and eggs.

                  Whether it's a few backyard birds or a large commercial flock, following a few key steps is fundamental to protect the health and vitality of Michigan s domestic birds:
                  • Prevent contact between domestic and wild birds by bringing them indoors or ensuring their outdoor area is fully enclosed.
                  • Wash your hands before and after handling birds as well as when moving between different coops.
                  • Disinfect boots and other gear when moving between coops.
                  • Do not share equipment or other supplies between coops or other farms.
                  • Clean and disinfect equipment and other supplies between uses. If it cannot be disinfected, discard it.
                  • Use well or municipal water as drinking water for birds.
                  • Keep poultry feed secure to ensure there is no contact between the feed/feed ingredients and wild birds or rodents.

                  MDARD is continuing to work diligently with local, state, and federal partners to quickly respond to reports of sick domestic animals to best mitigate the spread of HPAI and provide outreach.

                      More than 100 birds culled at Waterford park for H5N1 bird flu
                      Kristen Jordan Shamus Detroit Free Press
                      11 hours ago

                      More than 100 chickens, geese, ducks and other birds at the farm at Hess-Hathaway Park in Waterford have been culled after some of them tested positive for the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu, township Supervisor Anthony Bartolotta said Friday.

                      The birds were identified Thursday by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Urban Development as being a "backyard flock" in Oakland County with the virus.

                      That's just one bit of public information that was corrected Friday both by Bartolotta and by the Oakland County Health Division, which also acknowledged only one person is symptomatic after contact with the birds — not two, as a county spokesperson reported Thursday.

                      At least 10 other people are under public health monitoring for symptoms.​..
