WPR Dodge County farm is first in state to have a positive test in cows for the highly contagious disease. Officials said they have found bird flu in a Wisconsin dairy herd for the first time.
Tests of cow’s milk from a Dodge County farm were positive for the highly contagious virus, officials with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection announced Sunday.
The Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostics Laboratory on Thursday found the first milk sample to test positive for the virus. That was followed by a second positive test on Friday in milk from the same farm. The National Veterinary Services Laboratory confirmed both results.
