NDA EXTENDS RESTRICTIONS AND PROVIDES UPDATE ON HPAI FOUND IN LIVESTOCK
LINCOLN –The Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) continues to monitor for the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus in dairy cattle. Recently, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service issued a federal order, that took effect on April 29, mandating testing for interstate movement of lactating dairy cattle as well as mandatory reporting of positive cases. HPAI has been detected in lactating dairy cattle in several states. There have been no reported detections of HPAI in Nebraska dairy cattle or other livestock.
To help protect the dairy herd in Nebraska, NDA has an importation order in place that requires all breeding female dairy cattle entering the state of Nebraska to obtain a permit issued by NDA prior to entry. The importation order has been extended until May 31, 2024, and will be re-evaluated at that time. To obtain a permit, producers must contact NDA at 402-471-2351. More information is available on NDA’s website at nda.nebraska.gov/animal/imports.
