Albuquerque, NM (KKOB)– Monday, officials said milk from dairy cows in Texas and Kansas tested positive for bird flu, and also detected in New Mexico. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture the commercial milk supply’s safe and risk to people is low. Dairies are required to only allow milk from healthy animals to enter the food supply, and from the sick animals it’s diverted or destroyed. Dairy industry officials said producers have started enhanced biosecurity efforts on U.S. farms, including limiting the amount of traffic into and out of properties and restricting visits to employees as well as essential personnel.
