The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) Eurasian strain H5N1 has been confirmed in the Pacific Flyway. HPAI is a highly contagious, deadly disease in domestic poultry.

Gardeners are often the first ones to spot important environmental changes, including pests and disease. You are on-the-ground community scientists.

Are you raising chickens? Know four things:
1. Be aware of this novel disease;
2. Practice biosecurity, especially and including keeping wild waterfowl out of contact with domesticated poultry;
3. Tracking cases is critical. The Oregon Department of Agriculture asks bird owners to report unusual increases in illness or death rates in their flocks;
4. If you find a sick or dead bird, don’t touch it, report it.
• Email: npip@oda.oregon.gov
• Call: 1-800-347-7028

Please help spread the word, not the disease: share this post.

For more information about HPAI, symptoms, biosecurity and how you can protect your flock please visit ODA’s avian influenza webpage in English at https://oda.direct/AI and in Spanish at https://oda.direct/IA.
