The USDA has recently implemented new restrictions on dairy cattle due to the increasing cases of bird flu in eight states. As a result, local residents, like Jaden Knowles, are concerned about the virus and its potential effects on public health. At a press conference, Bernadette Albanese, the Medical Director of El Paso County Public Health, expressed her concerns about the impact of the virus on food and milk supply. She mentioned that the virus has been detected in milk samples, raising issues about food safety.
The new restrictions from the USDA include testing cows for Influenza A virus, including bird flu, before crossing state lines. For herds that test positive, owners must provide epidemiological information such as animal movement tracking. The USDA stated that immediate requirements are for lactating cattle, with guidelines for other classes of cattle based on scientific factors and evolving risks.
Local residents are worried about the contagious nature of bird flu, especially among children. Jaden Knowles hopes that companies will take necessary steps to safeguard consumer health. To keep up-to-date with health guidelines and the CDC’s monitoring efforts, individuals can visit their website.
