This is the first time avian flu has been diagnosed in Colorado cattle, the state Department of Agriculture said in its announcement.
On Monday, the Colorado State Veterinarian’s Office was notified of a dairy herd exhibiting symptoms consistent with bird flu in cows. Signs of avian flu in dairy cows include decreased eating, decreased milk production and abnormal colostrum-like milk. Sick cattle appear to recover after supportive care, the state’s news release said.
“We continue to see this ongoing HPAI outbreak evolve and over the last month have seen transmission of the virus now move into dairy cattle,” said Colorado State Veterinarian Maggie Baldwin in the news release. “While we don’t yet completely understand the mechanism of transmission of this virus, we do know that it appears to be spreading from cow to cow and between herds.
