'Bird Flu Puts Chicken Industry On Alert”
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday it had identified instances of deadly bird flu in U.S. flocks, putting the poultry industry on high alert for more widespread outbreaks.
The USDA reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in a flock of about 240,000 birds at a commercial chicken farm in Fulton County, Ky. Tyson Inc.,the largest U.S. chicken processor by sales, confirmed that the farm housed the company’s chickens.
A separate outbreak was confirmed in a backyard flock of birds in Fauquier County, Va., the USDA said. State officials quarantined the affected areas, and the birds on the farms will be destroyed to prevent the spread of the disease.
None of the affected birds will enter the food supply, according to the USDA. Recent avian-influenza outbreaks haven’t posed a health risk to humans, federal officials have said.
A severe outbreak in the U.S. could pose a threat to poultry companies such as Perdue Farms Inc., Inc. and Corp. Companies are already raising prices as they cite worker shortages, as well as higher transportation and feed costs.
Multiple bird-flu cases have been reported across North America in recent weeks, prompting poultry companies to take action. Avian influenza has been confirmed in commercial and backyard flocks in three states this year, the USDA said.
An outbreak was reported last week in Dubois County, Ind., on a commercial chicken farm. Earlier this month, bird flu was detected in two wild birds in Florida. In January, a separate case was found in a wild bird in Colleton County in South Carolina, according to the USDA. Canada also recently confirmed a bird-flu case in a commercial farm in western Nova Scotia.
Labor shortages on farms also may increase the risk of spreading the virus, she said. Chicken producers are relying on a smaller number of available workers to clean more farms, and newer workers may not be as efficient at certain hygiene practices, she said. This could severely decrease the number of chickens available to sell.
