Poultry farms in the region will undergo special testing after a local farm tested positive for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza.
Culver Duck Farms confirmed that one of its barns has tested positive. As a result, the Board of Animal Health has established a 10-20 km surveillance zone covering parts of Elkhart, LaGrange, and St. Joseph counties.
Nearby manufacturers will also be tested to prevent the spread.
The Goshen News reports security measures are expected to last at least four weeks. Indiana leads the nation in duck production and ranks high in other poultry sectors.

So, how reliable are these tests? As effective as the yearly flu vaccine (that you need to get every year yet doesn’t stop the flu)?
They said Covid was lethal and the vaccine was effective too. Think about that.
Just a scam to disrupt our food supply. I don’t trust or believe these tests at all.
