Bird Flu Outbreak In Minnesota

State and federal officials have confirmed a bird flu outbreak at a second Minnesota turkey farm.

It was found in a flock of 22,000 birds at a commercial turkey farm in Lac qui Parle County of western Minnesota.

It’s the second finding in Minnesota of the highly pathogenic H-5-N-2 avian influenza strain, which was confirmed at a Pope County turkey farm about three weeks ago.

Officials say birds from the flock won’t enter the food supply. No human infections of the virus have been reported.
