MADISON, Wis. – Animal-health officials with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection are urging all poultry owners, regardless of size, to increase biosecurity efforts now that two strains of avian influenza have been found in the Mississippi flyway. The concern comes after a highly-pathogenic H7 strain was found in a Tennessee commercial chicken flock and a low-pathogenic H5 strain was found in a Wisconsin commercial turkey flock.
