A goat kid in Stevens County, Minnesota, has tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), marking the first case in the United States of bird flu in a domestic ruminant.
A goat kid in Stevens County, Minnesota, has tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza , marking the first case in the United States of bird flu in a domestic ruminant. The Minnesota Board of Animal Health announced Wednesday the juvenile goat residing on a farm with HPAI-positive poultry also tested positive for the same virus. This is the first U.S. detection in cattle, sheep, goat or their relatives.
The body of one goat was taken to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, where it tested positive for influenza A, and the National Veterinary Services Laboratories later confirmed it was H5N1 HPAI, which is the same virus circulating in the national outbreak that began in 2022, a press release says. Samples from adult goats were negative for HPAI and they all appear healthy, the Board of Animal Health says. No other sick goat kids have been reported since March 11.
