2 more cases of bird flu found in Wright County

Hopes that the bird flu outbreak in Wright County was nearing its end were dashed last week when two additional probable cases were announced by the Iowa Department of Agriculture.
     On May 27 the department announced that a commercial laying operation with an estimated 1 million birds had tested positive for the H5 avian influenza. This is the first new case of bird flu found in Wright County since May 8.
     While the producer affected by the previous three cases has not been identified, the recent fourth case is confirmed to be at a site owned by Centrum Valley Farms.
