Headline:  WATT Poultry(R), 2/24/2025

Ray Graber reports:

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) reported that the presence of HPAI was confirmed on February 21 in a commercial flock of 3,090,400 laying hens in Darke County, and another commercial flock of 84,800 commercial layers in Mercer County. 

Ohio in 2025 alone has lost 66 commercial poultry flocks to HPAI – more than any other state. Nearly all of those flocks have been in Mercer and Darke Counties, which have respectively lost 43 and 20 commercial flocks.
