New testing required for dairy cows before events due to influx of bird flu

With an increased risk of H5N1 (bird/avian flu) infecting dairy cows, the Minnesota Board of Animal Health (MBAH) is releasing new testing requirements before the animal can attend exhibitions.

Beginning Tuesday, the new requirements will force all lactating dairy cows to have both a negative bird flu test and a certificate of veterinary inspection (CVI) to attend any exhibition. According to MBAH, a veterinarian must oversee or collect samples from each animal traveling to an exhibition within seven days before arriving at the event. Samples must then be sent to a lab overseen by the National Animal Health Laboratory Network.

Once a negative result is received for an animal, it can move through Minnesota for 10 days from the sample collection date to locations specified on the CVI.
