A goat in Minnesota has tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu, marking the first case of bird flu in domestic cattle, sheep, goats, or their relatives in the United States.
The positive juvenile goat was found on a Stevens County farm that already had bird flu infected poultry, as announced by the Minnesota Board of Animal Health. All poultry on the property had been quarantined since the HPAI detection in February.
