Mississippi breeder flock is state’s first avian flu case
Case was confirmed in Lawrence County
Mississippi has had its first confirmed case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a commercial poultry flock, with a broiler breeder flock affected.
The case was reported on November 5 by the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the Mississippi Board of Animal Health (MBAH).
The agencies identified the affected flock as a commercial breeder chicken flock in Lawrence County, but neither agency at first specified whether they were broiler breeders or layer breeders. Two days later, APHIS verified that it was a broiler breeder flock and 34,900 birds were in the flock.
