In response to
the confirmed positive case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in
Kansas, the Kansas Department of Agriculture has established a
quarantine zone in Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to respond quickly
and decisively to eradicate the outbreak of HPAI. The transportation of all HPAI susceptible livestock, including live
poultry and poultry products (including eggs), into or out of the
designated control zone within Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties in
Kansas is prohibited unless authorized by an official permit. Poultry
and poultry products, including eggs, within the control zone shall not
be transported without first receiving an official permit from the
Kansas Department of Agriculture. If you have questions regarding the quarantine area, visit www.agriculture.ks.gov/avianinfluenza to see a map of the quarantined area. Kansas Animal Health Commissioner Bill Brown
encourages all poultry owners to closely monitor their flocks and
contact their local veterinarian immediately if birds appear infected.
