Indiana bird flu tally reaches 45 so far this year

 
Headline:  WATT Poultry, 5/22/2026

Roy Graber reports:
The presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has been confirmed in two more commercial meat duck flocks in Indiana. 
The latest flock infections were confirmed on May 20, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). One flock was in Elkhart County and included 13,600 birds. The other was in LaGrange County and included 7,700 birds. 
With these latest cases, Indiana has now had 45 commercial poultry flocks struck by HPAI in 2026, with most of those cases involving ducks. Indiana has lost more flocks than any other state so far this year. 
While HPAI cases persist in Indiana, they have slowed down for the rest of the United States. Indiana and Minnesota are the only two states to have new cases of HPAI in commercial flocks in May.
