Poultry Movement Restrictions Lifted for Barron County



The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture has released three zones in Barron County where poultry movement restrictions were put in place to prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza. The latest move means all restricted zones in Wisconsin have now been released.

The statewide special order prohibiting the movement of all domestic birds to events where they commingle with other birds and then disperse remains in effect. This order is separate from the restricted zones and remains in effect until 30 days following the last detection of HPAI in domestic flocks.

Flocks in 14 counties have tested positive for HPAI. State animal health officials urge poultry owners to remain vigilant and continue practicing strong biosecurity measures to protect birds from the virus. Flock owners are also reminded to register where their animals are kept, which is required by state law.
