A serious outbreak of the bird flu is threatening the United States’ poultry inventory.
Since it was first detected in commercial flocks in February 2022, some 28.2 million domestic birds have died from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), according to a spokesperson from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Some died from the infection, while others have been euthanized.
