The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today confirmed 18 more H5N1 avian flu outbreaks in dairy cattle, nearly doubling the state’s outbreak total.

California, the country’s biggest dairy producing state, now has the second highest number of outbreaks (34), with Colorado still the state reporting the most outbreaks.
