MN Turkey Industry Follows USDA Plan

According to Minnesota Turkey Growers Association Executive Director Ashley Kohls, the industry relies on the USDA’s five-point plan. “Those of us in the turkey industry are really laser-focused on what USDA has put out.” Kohls noted that Minnesota’s biosecurity efforts have helped reduce cases even as the virus remains a concern nationwide. Kohls also acknowledged ongoing discussions about a potential vaccine for highly pathogenic avian influenza. “There’s a vaccine conversation that everybody’s having, looking at if there’s a reasonable and appropriate way to administer it.”
