Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been confirmed to be present in a domestic poultry flock in Alberta. This is the first positive case in Alberta in 2025, and it indicates that HPAI continues to be carried/spread by the migrating bird population, and/or is likely to be present in the environment.
To protect your flock, it is advised to implement enhanced biosecurity measures at this time.
For more information visit general information on protecting your flocks from HPAI and other pathogens. Please be aware that HPAI can also infect other species including (but not limited to) swine, dairy cattle, and domestic cats with outdoor access. Contact your veterinarian should you have health concerns with any other species on your premises.
If you see signs of respiratory distress in your birds, and/or a sudden increase in deaths in your flock, please contact your flock veterinarian and/or the Office of the Chief Provincial Veterinarian at 780-427-3448.
