Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza has had a huge impact on the poultry industry. Certainly, the disease poses catastrophic impacts on farms that test positive, but it can also impact other flocks or operations.

Garcia says preparation, record keeping, and management can help limit devastation of serious infectious diseases.
