The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has not detected highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in dairy cattle or other livestock in Canada.
Producers can protect their animals and themselves against spread of disease by monitoring cattle for clinical signs, including a sudden decrease in milk production; contacting a veterinarian with any suspected cases; practicing good biosecurity measures; and contacting the provincial or national associations for any enhanced biosecurity protocols that may be available.
Affected cows have lower milk production and thicker milk. Risk of HPAI transmission to humans remains low.
