The Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) has imposed a restriction on the importation of dairy cattle due to the recent outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), also known as bird flu. The order requires all breeding female dairy cattle entering the state to have a permit issued by the NDA first. To obtain a permit, dairy producers must contact the NDA and consult with their local veterinarian. The new importation order will be in place for 30 days until April 30, 2024, and will be re-evaluated at that time. HPAI has been detected in lactating dairy cattle in states like Texas, New Mexico, Michigan, Idaho, and Nebraska’s bordering state, Kansas. The NDA is closely monitoring the HPAI illness and is advocating for Nebraska producers to protect the health of Nebraska livestock and minimize its impact on the state. The NDA recommends strict biosecurity practices and quarantining new animals into herds for 30 days. State Veterinarian Roger Dudley emphasizes the importance of enhancing biosecurity measures on farms and ranches to protect livestock from illness.
