These viruses have apparently been introduced by migratory birds. These influenza viruses have been detected in captive birds, backyard poultry, and commercial poultry flocks in more than 20 different states and provinces in USA and Canada. This situation is UNPRECEDENTED in the history of the poultry disease outbreaks in North America. Confirmed cases closest to the state of Ohio include 3 cases in Ontario, Canada north of Lake Eire and 1 confirmed case just west of Fort Wayne, Indiana. These viruses appear to be related to an influenza virus that has been circulating in Asia and Europe throughout This group of influenza viruses is highly pathogenic to domestic poultry, making them severely sick with high mortality of more than 90% in many cases. These viruses represent a low to negligible risk for human infections. However, as a precautionary measure, confirmed infected poultry and poultry products do not enter the food supply. Poultry and poultry products are safe to consume when they are properly handled and cooked. While surveillance and quick diagnosis are essential tools to detect the virus and limit the spread of the disease and eventually control the outbreak, it s the BIOSECURITY efforts that will prevent the infection from reaching your flock, whether it is commercial or noncommercial. Biosecurity can be defined as the sound sanitary practices that are used to stop the infectious agent from reaching the host. But, before understanding biosecurity practices and the logic behind them, one must understand the dynamics of disease transmission. Infectious diseases in bird populations can be transmitted by two primary ways: 1) Direct transmission, which means the infectious agents are transmitted through direct physical contact between infected and uninfected susceptible individuals. 2) Indirect transmission, which means the infectious agents are transmitted through indirect transportation vehicles (humans, pets, wild animals, feed, water) to reach the susceptible individuals. The Link below is updated daily for all the latest detections in the USA. Editors Note: All Monroe County 4-H Poultry Exhibitors will be mailed a more complete article with prevention practices.

Possible topics for questions include: Nutrition & Feeding, General Knowledge, Management & Health, Selection, Showing & Fitting, and Record Keeping. 2) Members will complete a skillathon as in the past. Be sure to download skillathon study sheets from or pick them up at the Extension Office. 3) Project books will be reviewed by the judge during the interview. 4) The total score for judging will be calculated as follows: skillathon (25 points), interview (50 points), project book (15 points), and appropriate dress/ appearance (10 points). 5) Members are not required to make a poster for animal project judging. In the past you have had the opportunity to make a poster if you wanted and then it would be judged later by the 4-H Committee. For 2015, there will not be a poster contest of any kind.
