Two more cases of avian influenza detected in Maine backyard flocks

MAINE PUBLIC • March 17, 2022

The Maine Department of Agriculture Conservation and Forestry is warning that two more cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza have been identified in backyard flocks — one in York County and the other in Lincoln County. That's in addition to two cases discovered a few weeks ago in Knox County. The Department's Jim Britt says flock owners statewide, both domestic and commercial, should keep birds inside to prevent spread of the disease.
