Video: Breaking Biosecurity: The First U.S. Case of H5N1 in Pigs and What It Means for Producers

Dr. Gisele Ravagnani provides insights into the recent detection of H5N1 in an Oregon pig, marking the first U.S. case in swine. H5N1, a highly pathogenic avian influenza, primarily affects birds but has now crossed into swine. This development raises concerns for both swine and poultry producers due to potential interspecies transmission. Producers are advised to enhance biosecurity measures, such as controlling farm access and monitoring animal health. While the risk to human health remains low, it's crucial to protect workers through proper hygiene and protective equipment. Producers should watch for symptoms like respiratory distress in their herds and consult veterinarians promptly if infections are suspected.
