The Sac County turkey flock bird flu outbreak

Cosa sapevamo all'inizio

• Roughly 44,000 turkeys are housed at the Sac County site where H5N1 bird flu has been confirmed—a flock large enough to require a substantial animal-disease response. That number describes the birds at the premises, not a verified total of deaths or birds destroyed. Iowa has now made state personnel and resources available, but officials have not disclosed how far containment and cleanup have progressed.
