We respond to detections of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI), subtype H5, in small flocks, commercial and non-commercial farms with birds.
Primary control zones (PCZ) are established to prevent the spread of the virus. For movements in, within, out or through a PCZ, you require permits to move birds, their products and by-products..
Infected premises, whether in a PCZ or not, must complete several steps before resuming operations.
Restrictions by other countries vary based off control zones. See the consolidated list of restrictions imposed by foreign countries.
