Avian Flu Checks Start for Dairies

Monday, January 13, 2025

By Scout Nelson

To safeguard public health and the dairy industry, Minnesota will begin mandatory testing of milk for the highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, next month.

This initiative follows a federal order from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that initially included six states and has now expanded to 28, covering nearly two-thirds of the nation’s milk supply.

The goal of this widespread testing is to provide a clearer understanding of the presence of the H5N1 virus within dairy herds and to aid in preventing further spread of the disease. Avian influenza has already been confirmed in dairy cattle in 16 states, including Minnesota, prompting increased vigilance and proactive measures.

The testing process in Minnesota is set to start around February 1. It will utilize existing samples of raw or unpasteurized milk that farmers routinely submit, ensuring that there is no additional burden on them. This method reflects a successful approach used in Colorado last year, which helped contain the outbreak effectively.
