Federal officials say that milk from dairy cows in Texas and Kansas has tested positive for bird flu. The virus has also been detected in New Mexico. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the milk supply remains safe.
FILE - Dairy cattle feed at a farm on March 31, 2017, near Vado, N.M. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday, March 25, 2024, that milk from dairy cows in Texas and Kansas has tested positive for bird flu. The illness has been reported in older dairy cows in those states and in New Mexico. The symptoms included decreased lactation and low appetite.
The commercial milk supply is safe, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Dairies are required to only allow milk from healthy animals to enter the food supply, and milk from the sick animals is being diverted or destroyed. Pasteurization also kills viruses and other bacteria, and the process is required for milk sold through interstate commerce, they said.
Experts say livestock will recover on their own. That’s different than bird flu outbreaks in poultry, which necessitate killing flocks to get rid of the virus.
