Minnesota has reported its first H5N1 detection in poultry since April, which involves a commercial turkey farm in Redwood County. The detection comes on the heels of similar outbreaks in South Dakota and North Dakota earlier this month.
“Health officials and industry have been working hard over the summer to eliminate the virus from quarantined sites so the state could officially declare freedom of the disease on Aug. 25, 2025,” the Minnesota Board of Health said in a press release. “This detection resets Minnesota’s response teams and will draw responders back into the fight against avian influenza this fall.”
