Secretary Vilsack Comments On Possibility Of HPAI Dairy Compensation
Manage episode 416239652 series 2908402
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack tells Mid-West Farm Report the loss of milk has been minimal in cows with bird flu. He says it's a complex issue to provide compensation for lost milk due to H5N1 -- Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza -- in dairy cattle. He says he's interested to see if the virus has any long-term effects on milk production in infected cows. This data may determine if USDA implements an indemnity program. Secretary Vilsack says the challenge is getting dairy farmers to volunteer information to the federal government.
