Beginning in early 2024, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been detected in U.S. dairy herds, threatening milk production. Yet little is known about how the virus spreads in cows. Through a Rapid Outcomes from Agricultural Research (ROAR) grant, Michigan State University researchers are studying how HPAI is transmitted in dairy cows.

The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) virus is present in the milk of infected cows, and to limit on-farm spread, requires cost-prohibitive and resource-intensive on-farm pasteurization and heat decontamination treatments. Texas A&M University researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of chemical controls in decontaminating milk.
