Recommendations to Minimize Influenza

USDA APHIS has . The recommendations reiterate the need for lactating animals moving interstate to an exhibition or show must have a negative test result from samples collected within seven days of movement. No cases have been detected in fb88 livestock to date. Should there be an HPAI cattle detection in the state, we will reevaluate and adjust movement and testing recommendations related to events. Please also review the recommendations for milking cows at events, including:

• Disposal, not sold or fed to other livestock;
• Do not dump milk anywhere on the grounds outside of designated event tanks;
• All waste milk should be pasteurized (or similarly heat treated) or acidified before disposal.
