Spoke briefly with Your Local Epidemiologist yesterday to get their take on the rapidly evolving bird flu emergence in dairy cows. It was a great conversation and I highly encourage you to read it below. Here are a few highlights: 1. The U.S. fumbled its response to bird flu spreading from birds to livestock, which is frustrating given what we’ve learned since COVID-19. 2. Detection reports date back to late March for dairy cows, but the FDA found trace amounts of H5N1 in a number of milk samples, implying that the outbreak is not only bigger than federal agencies originally thought, but has been going on longer too. 3. This is NOT the same as COVID-19. Infected cows seem to be recovering quickly after a few weeks, which is a good sign for humans, unlike birds that have a high risk of mortality when they contract the virus. 4. Lots of questions remain about how it spread and mutated from birds to other livestock and animals. Despite one farm worker reportedly getting the virus after close contact with a dairy cow in Texas, the risk of infection to the general public is low. 5. Food safety offcials have repeatedly stated that commercial ground beef and milk are safe to consume following encouraging results from a few recent studies. More information will be out in the coming days to give experts and the general public a clearer picture of the bird flu virus.
With the rapid development of bird flu in dairy cows, Katelyn Jetelina, a public health blogger, expert and advisor to the CDC, explains why the outbreak is bigger than previously thought and whether farm workers should be doing more to protect themselves. https://lnkd.in/gNtcxPrb

Dear Poultry Farmer, IDENTIFY POULTRY DISEASES THROUGH YOUR CHICKEN POOP / AVOIDING MORTALITY DURING BROODING. Healthy bird poops or droppings have no noticeable odor when fresh. The smell of feces is often a sign of infection in the digestive tract. The most common is a bacterial or yeast infection. Understanding how a chicken’s digestive system works can help us understand how chicken poop or poo is formed. The chicken takes in food and water with its beak, saliva and digestive enzymes are added as food and water move from the mouth towards the esophagus, reaching the first stop (the crop). The crop is a temporary storage compartment where food could stay up to 12 hours. After the food is softened, it drips into the proventriculus adding more digestive enzymes as the food moves into the gizzard, which is the muscular part of the stomach that uses grits or small stones that the chicken eats, to grind food into smaller, more digestible particles. As the food passes through the gizzard, it follows its path to the small intestine where the nutrients are absorbed, then these residues pass through the cecum (the hen has two) where the bacteria do their work and decompose the food that has not been previously digested. Waste and undigested food move into the cloaca, where they mix with urates (urine) and are expelled. These chicken poops can vary in appearance (colors and textures), some being brown, green, yellow, maroon, and even black. It all depends on the diet of the birds, the growing season of the bird, the season of the year, colder or hotter and the general state of health of the bird. By observing the poop of your chickens, you can determine if something is wrong with the chickens. There are seven types of chicken poop. They are: 🐓. Normal Poop. 🐓. Green Poop. 🐓. Brown Poop. 🐓. Yellow Poop or Foamy Poop. 🐓. Red or Bloody Poop. 🐓. White Poop. 🐓. Black Poop. https://lnkd.in/dd6iPrKt Your Favorite Poultry Farmer 🐓🐓🐓 #poultryfarmer #ruralpoultryfarmer #poop #disease #brooding #biosecurity #health
