The United States has identified its first case of avian flu on a commercial poultry farm since April, involving a flock of 47,300 turkeys located in Jerauld County, South Dakota.
Since 2022, 58.8 million U.S. chickens, turkeys and other birds have been wiped out by the disease, officially known as highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), according to the USDA. The losses drove prices for turkey meat and eggs to record highs last year, raising costs for inflation-hit consumers.
Farmers have since worked to rebuild their flocks, increasing supplies.
