USDA Orders Dairy Cow Testing for Bird Flu Amid Concerns

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has issued a new directive requiring testing for bird flu in dairy cows being transported across state lines. This decision comes amidst growing concerns about the spread of avian influenza and its potential impact on the dairy industry.

The FDA recently made headlines with its detection of bird flu traces in milk sold at grocery stores. However, experts like Dr. Peter Hotez, an infectious disease specialist at Baylor College of Medicine in San Antonio, clarify that this finding is not cause for alarm. . .
