Public Health Officials Confirm Four More HPAI Cases In Humans An update on the Avian Flu, The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this past weekend confirmed that four workers at a poultry farm in northeast Colorado were infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). The agency confirmed that four of the workers who were culling birds after an HPAI outbreak at the commercial egg-laying operation tested positive for HPAI, and a fifth employee is presumed HPAI-positive as the agency waits for samples to be processed.  The CDC is investigating whether the workers properly used recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) and will decide whether guidance adjustments to protect poultry farm employees are warranted. Most human cases of HPAI infection involved people who were not wearing recommended PPE when working with infected birds, CDC noted. The agency also is analyzing the virus sequences from the outbreak in order to determine if a change in the risk assessment should be launched. HPAI infections in humans have been confirmed in three U.S. states since March. Meanwhile, USDA reported that an estimated 152 dairy cattle herds in at least 10 states tested positive for HPAI infections so far this year.    US Beef Exports Exceeded $900 Million In May Shipments of beef from the United States to foreign markets hit an 11-month high in May in dollar terms, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation. The value of beef exports was 3% higher than the same month a year ago and the highest mark since June 2023.  For the first five months of 2024, the U.S. beef industry exports were worth $4.29 billion, 5% ahead of the same period in 2023. Calculated per head of fed slaughter, export value in May was $410.94, up 3% from May 2023. The U.S. Meat Export Federation said that Japan, Taiwan and the ASEAN region showed strong demand for U.S. beef in May, as well as Mexico, Guatemala and the Caribbean. Equine Infectious Anemia confirmed in Nebraska horse The Nebraska Department of Agriculture July 4 announced a confirmed case of equine infectious anemia in a horse located in Colfax County. This is the first confirmed case of EIA since 2013 in the state.  NDA staff are working with the owner and local veterinarian to monitor potentially exposed horses. The infected horse is currently quarantined and will be released once state regulations are met.  Spread by blood-to-blood contact, EIA is an incurable, infectious viral disease and can be transmitted from an infected equine to an uninfected equine by blood-feeding insects such as horseflies, deer flies, or stable flies, and by people using contaminated medical equipment, such as needles, syringes, and IV sets. There are currently no USDA-approved vaccines for EIA. Equine owners can do a number of things to help protect their animals, and this includes things like implementing insect controls, keeping stables and facilities clean, eliminating standing water, using one needle per horse, separating infected equine from the healthy, and never using blood-contaminated medical equipment.  RanchChannel.Com Now Has The Futures Markets Futures Markets RanchChannel.com now has futures markets at your fingertips!  Feeder Cattle, Live Cattle, Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, Soybean Oil, Milk Class IV, and Ethanol.  Information is provided b
