For the 3rd time in the past week, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the USDA report another case of the bird flu.
This time, it was discovered in a commercial layer flock in Sioux County.
This is Iowa’s 6th detection of bird flu within poultry in 2024.
The bird flu can also impact dairy cattle, with 13 cases detected in Iowa dairy herds in June of this year. With supportive care, dairy herds recover with limited, or no mortality associated with the disease.
