The U.S. Department of Agriculture will soon implement nationwide testing of bulk raw milk for bird flu, responding to concerns about the virus spreading quickly.
Dairy farmers are hesitant about voluntary testing due to potential economic impacts, which complicates efforts to detect bird flu among livestock populations.
A recent resolution from the U.S. Animal Health Association criticized the existing pre-movement testing protocols, stating they're insufficient and called for a more comprehensive surveillance strategy.
The association insists on the necessity of a national strategy for data collection and surveillance, emphasizing collaboration across state and livestock sectors.
