What You Will Learn Statistical Process Control (SPC) functions can monitor any bird health metrics that are measured: presence/absence, load, health scores, etc. SPC Systems combine multiple SPC functions to monitor different types of changes. SPC Systems can detect smaller changes, and can detect them more quickly and more reliably than individual SPC functions.

What You Will Learn The current H5N1 High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) virus is genetically diverse, with this Eurasia lineage of virus producing the first outbreaks in 1996 in domestic geese in China. The genetic clade 2.3.4.4b has spread intercontinentally between Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and North America, causing major infections in wild aquatic birds—and in some species, such as common cranes and pelicans—major die-offs and outbreaks in backyard, village and...
