Bird Flu - USA
With a quarter of Iowa’s laying hens doomed from bird flu, Gov. Terry Branstad declared a state of emergency Friday that activates a coordinated response and increases biosecurity measures to check the infectious disease in the USA’s leading egg-producing state.
Iowa now becomes the third state to declare an emergency because of the outbreak, which either has led or will lead to the extermination of some 21 million chickens and turkeys nationwide. Minnesota and Wisconsin declared states of emergency last month.
