Bird Flu Outbreaks Strike Indiana Poultry Farms, Raising Concerns

Fresh outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza are creating mounting concerns for Indiana’s poultry producers. Turkey farmer Kevin Kalb, who operates in southwestern Indiana, expressed alarm about the virus’s proximity to his operation.

“We just found out, I think two days ago, it’s about 12-13 miles from us right now,” Kalb stated. “So that’s a big concern on our farm.”

The ongoing spread of the deadly bird flu strain continues to threaten poultry operations across Indiana, forcing farmers to remain vigilant about biosecurity measures to protect their flocks.
