The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) is circulating again, but it’s impacting more than birds. Several states have found this strain of bird flu in dairy cows. Wisconsin has not had a case yet this year, but it has a system in place to help prevent the spread of animal disease if it does come into our state. Wisconsin requires anyone with livestock – whether you have three chickens or 3,000 cows – to register where those animals live. It’s called the Premise ID Law. The database is run by the Wisconsin Livestock Identification Consortium (WLIC). Executive Director Julie Sweney says they require this information because it can be critical in stopping the spread of disease. You can update your premise information at https://wiid.org/
