After nearly 30 days with no updates, the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) this week posted several recent H5N1 avian flu detections in both commercial poultry and dairy cattle. In the past 30 days there have been three confirmed detections in dairy cows, with Texas reporting two affected herds and Utah reporting a single detection. 
So far this year 85 cattle herds have had confirmed H5N1 infections. Last year APHIS tracked 171 H5N1 outbreaks in cattle. In 2024, the year the virus was first detected in cows, the United States saw 917 herds infected. 
Poultry operation hit South Dakota is reporting a large H5N1 outbreak among commercial poultry breeding operations in Edmunds County, according to a separate APHIS tracker, with 29,700 birds affected. South Dakota reported another outbreak in Brule County with 2,800 birds. In Idaho, two smaller outbreaks were confirmed in birds in Ada and Canyon counties. In the past 30 days, APHIS has confirmed outbreaks in two commercial and three backyard US flocks. [emphasis added]
