WATT Poultry, 3/7/2025

Roy Graber reports:
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), the presence of HPAI was confirmed on March 6 in two commercial turkey flocks in Mercer County. One of those flocks included 22,100 birds, while the other had 9,500. 
So far in 2025, Ohio has had 69 commercial poultry flocks hit by HPAI, 45 of which have been in Mercer County. [emphasis added]
Demographically, it's MAGA country.
