Good evening,
Effective immediately, all 4-H poultry events and activities, including poultry shows are to be stopped until further notice. Please see the following link for the press release provided by NCDA&CS earlier today.
Embryology projects are affected in the following way. Those projects that have had eggs placed and are currently underway may continue but no new eggs will be placed. If you have chicks in place for a fall show, those birds can stay in place until further notice. Strict adherance to bio-security protocols, including checking birds daily for signs of HPAI should be practiced. Dr. Mary Fosnaught will provide further guidance regarding these projects and others that may currently be underway.
Extension and 4-H stand with NCDA&CS in their attempts to curtail the spread of this disease, thereby protecting the North Carolina poultry industry. Please direct all questions to Dr. Mary Fosnaught or one of the Area Poultry Agents.
Mike Yoder
