In the last 30 days, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), or H5N1, in:
- One case in poultry in one state.
- One case in livestock in one state.
To date, there have been no H5N1 detections in livestock in Wisconsin.
More than 13,000 milk PCR samples have been tested as part of the NMTS. H5N1 has not been detected in any of the samples. These tests represent nearly all licensed dairies in Wisconsin, with remaining verifications underway to ensure complete statewide reach. The DATCP H5N1 in Dairy Cattle webpage will continue to be updated weekly as the testing continues.
