State leaders said the mysterious disease that has been working its way through the Texas Panhandle has been identified as a strain of the bird flu.Three dairies in Texas and one in Kansas tested positive for the disease and TDA is monitoring the outbreak.
"This presents yet another hurdle for our agriculture sector in the Texas Panhandle," Miller said."Protecting Texas producers and the safety of our food supply chain is my top priority. The Texas Department of Agriculture will use every resource available to maintain the high standards of quality and safety that define Texas agriculture."
The dairy industry pulls in about $50 billion across Texas, which ranks fourth in milk production nationwide."There is no threat to the public and there will be no supply shortages," Miller said."No contaminated milk is known to have entered the food chain; it has all been dumped. In the rare event that some affected milk enters the food chain, the pasteurization process will kill the virus."Cattle that have been affected by HPAI present with flu-like symptoms.
During that time, the cattle experience a sharp reduction in milk production, fever and thick and discolored milk."Unlike affected poultry, I foresee there will be no need to depopulate dairy herds," Miller said."Cattle are expected to fully recover. The Texas Department of Agriculture is committed to providing unwavering support to our dairy industry."
