Georgia has confirmed its first case of H5N1 bird flu in a commercial poultry flock, a serious threat to the state's poultry industry and economy.
Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, "We are working around the clock to mitigate any further spread of the disease and ensure that normal poultry activities in Georgia can resume as quickly as possible."
The detection of bird flu in Georgia has led to the suspension of all in-state poultry exhibitions, shows, swaps, meets, and sales until further notice.
This case marks the first detection in a commercial poultry operation in Georgia since a series of outbreaks began in 2022, prompting strict containment measures.
