 We have had some challenges this year with high path avian flu (HPAI).  In fact some farms have broken twice in the past five years with the flu.  Working with the USDA and state agencies, we must research on ways we can see how this disease is infiltrating farms.  A pathway to looking at separating the egg industry from the poultry meat industry in trade talks may help pave the way to vaccination programs for older flocks such as layers that need protection.  Time will tell.  In the meantime everyone is responsible for good biosecurity, and keeping HPAI at bay.
