Authorities in Iowa have announced that over 4 million chickens will need to be euthanized following the detection of a highly pathogenic strain of bird flu at a large egg farm in Sioux County. This recent case is part of a larger outbreak that has been ongoing for several years and has now started affecting dairy cattle as well.
The affected farm in Iowa is currently in the process of culling 4.2 million chickens to prevent the further spread of the disease. Last week, a similar situation occurred at an egg farm in Minnesota, where nearly 1.4 million chickens had to be slaughtered after the virus was confirmed.
