 Though the H5N1 virus, often referred to as avian influenza, is most commonly associated with poultry, this spring farms in the Midwest reported cases in dairy cattle, presenting new risks for dairy herds, and farmers who work with them. While there are currently no known cases of H5N1 in New York dairy herds, Cornell and Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) experts are carefully monitoring the situation.

Rob Lynch, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and dairy herd health and management specialist with Cornell's Pro-Dairy program, joins CCE’s ‘Extension Out Loud’ podcast to share an update on H5N1, discussing the safety of dairy and meat products and what we currently know about the virus and its transmission. He also covers preventative measures dairy farms in New York can take.
Lynch emphasizes the importance of continued vigilance and adherence to standard safety protocols. Frequent handwashing, use of personal protective equipment and other safety measures help protect both dairy herds and the people who work with them. While the situation is evolving, the current measures provide a framework for managing this emerging threat effectively.

For updates and guidance on managing H5N1 in dairy cattle, Lynch advises farmers and industry stakeholders to contact their local veterinarian. They should also monitor trusted websites, including the CDC and Cornell Pro-Dairy, and take proactive measures to protect workers and cattle.
