California has ordered bulk milk testing for dairy farms near H5N1 outbreaks. The total infected herds in California has now risen to 17, causing serious concern for the dairy industry.
Officials are confident that nation's milk supply is safe due to pasteurization; however, they conduct bulk testing to detect any H5N1 virus effectively and isolate infected cows.
Nearly 100 dairy farms are undergoing mandatory testing as the state implements stringent quarantine measures for farms near infected herds to prevent wider outbreaks.
Consistency in cooperation from dairies during testing has been noted by officials, showing readiness in handling potential livestock disease outbreaks.
