With the lifting on the final remaining extremely pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) management zones in Alberta, just one province has an lively HPAI management zone.
And the one lively management zone doesn’t contain a business operation.
“HPAI outbreaks at the moment are closed and zoning restrictions had been lifted in all provinces, besides in Saskatchewan (one remaining major management zone,” the World Organisation for Animal Well being (WOAH) said in a latest report.
The WOAH report revealed that the zones surrounding a business poultry operation in Mountain View County and a non-commercial poultry operation in Vermillion River County, each in Alberta, had been lifted in the course of the last full week of June. The Mountain View County flock was the final confirmed case of HPAI in a business operation in Canada, with that an infection being confirmed on February 19. The Vermillion River County case was confirmed ten days earlier than the Mountain View County case was confirmed.
The ultimate remaining management zone, in line with the Canadian Meals Inspection Company (CFIA), entails a yard poultry farm in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. That case was confirmed on November 10, 2023.
