The last time highly pathogenic avian influenza was found in the province in either commercial poultry or wild birds was in 2007
Poultry farmers in Saskatchewan – particularly ones with small flocks – are being encouraged to keep their birds indoors after agriculture officials say a highly pathogenic type of bird flu was detected in a goose.
The news release says small flocks are considered high-risk for highly pathogenic avian influenza because they are commonly allowed access to outdoor pens or are free-range. Saskatchewan’s agriculture ministry says the last time highly pathogenic avian influenza was found in the province in either commercial poultry or wild birds was in 2007.
