Bird flu detected at commercial egg layer in LaGrange County

Bird Flu Detected in Northeast Indiana

A new case of bird flu has been detected in a commercial egg layer in LaGrange County, Indiana, according to the Indiana State Board of Animal Health.

The affected flock consisted of nearly 20,000 birds and has since been depopulated. This marks the fifth case in the region since the beginning of October, with multiple cases detected in both LaGrange and Elkhart counties.

A 10km control area and a 20km surveillance zone have been established in parts of Elkhart, LaGrange, and Noble Counties. The quarantine will be lifted once testing confirms the virus is no longer present, allowing affected areas to begin restocking.
