The Texas Agriculture Commissioner says there are many unknowns about the impacts of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in cattle.
Sid Miller says the illness being reported in the Texas Panhandle has lasted up to 10 days per case and the cows testing positive are isolated. Once those cows have recovered, they can return to the herd.
“It’s not treated like chickens and poultry that get the bird flu where you have to depopulate the whole flock.”
Miller says migrating waterfowl have contaminated the ponds where cows get water.
