Two more avian influenza cases have been reported in South Dakota, this time in the southeast. State Veterinarian Dr. Dustin Oedekoven says the latest infections were in turkey operations in Yankton and Hutchinson Counties with a total bird count from the two operations at 115,000.
He says they are destroying the birds at those two locations today and testing several other poultry flocks in the 6 miles control zone.
Oedekoven says to date 465,000 turkeys have been infected with bird flu in South Dakota, but so far no chicken or layer operations.
Nebraska also has their first case of high path bird flu reported in Dixon County in a commercial laying flock of 1.7 million birds.
