Biosecurity will be the most effective method to protect your animals. Minimize access of wild birds to cattle and their environment.

  • Manage the movement of cattle and their transport as much as possible.
  • Do not feed unpasteurized colostrum or milk to calves, cattle, or other mammals.
  • Implement precautions for caretakers and veterinary teams handling sick cows, sick or dead birds, small mammals, and unpasteurized milk.
  • Separate (quarantine) all new or returning animals for at least 21 days.
  • Contact your herd veterinarian if increased cow illness is observed in your herd, specifically in second lactation or greater cows that are 150 days or more in milk.
