Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Dairy Cows

HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was first reported in 2024.  Since then, cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported in 17 states. 

Mammals can be infected with the H5N1 bird flu viruses when they eat infected animals or birds, and/or when they are exposed to environments contaminated with the virus.  H5N1 is present in the manure and milk of infected dairy cows.  Care should be taken to minimize the spread of the virus by managing the manure and cleaning and sanitizing boots and equipment before entering the facility.
