DENVER — Recognizing that Colorado has not be able to control the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza among dairy cattle for nearly three months, state agriculture officials on Tuesday announced they would be mandating weekly testing of milk samples for bird flu at all commercial dairy farms in Colorado , effective immediately, in order to curb further spread of H5N1 in the state.
Colorado is leading the nation in both the number of bird flu outbreaks among dairy cattle as well as the number of infected workers who have tested positive for H5N1 after coming into contact with infected animals. Dairies currently under quarantine due to bird flu outbreaks or under orders for testing will be subject to those specific orders, the spokesperson said. The order does not include raw milk facilities.
