In this posting: [1] Michigan (Ottawa County): poultry [2A] Georgia (Elbert County, Clayton County): poultry, mixed birds [2B] Georgia: export restrictions [3] New York (Suffolk County): poultry [4] Connecticut (New Haven County): backyard poultry Note: This email summarizes Avian influenza cases in multiple states. I submitted this News because it reports infections within ‘backyard’ as well as commercial flocks. I don’t know if the Trump administration’s current ban on government communications has limited the scope of these data? I wonder if this on-going outbreak will be a concern for the sentinel chicken program this year, especially if flocks are positioned near dairy facilities.
