More than 30 Minnesota turkey farms hit by A-I have birds back in barns

More Minnesota turkey farms hit by avian influenza have birds back in their barns.

The Board of Animal Health says 43 farms now have restocking agreements in place and at least 31 have birds on the property.

The restocking process involves a complete cleaning and disinfecting, sample testing and a 21 day down-time period.

The Board also announced that all remaining A-I control areas have been released from quarantine and the carcass disposal process is complete on all but one of the 108 total farms affected by the virus.

There have been no new infected flocks in Minnesota since June fifth.
