While we have not had any new detections in Minnesota, rest assured we’re still watching for H5N1 and keeping tabs on its spread. You can find resources, case data, updates, biosecurity tips and more on our H5N1 webpage: https://www.bah.state.mn.us/h5n1 https://www.bah.state.mn.us/h5n1

Biosecurity is NOT (just) for the birds! Keepers of all species of domestic livestock should plan and execute a rock stolid biosecurity plan to ensure the safety and wellness of their animals. Equine owners can take particular steps to protect horses, who may be traveling to different locations throughout a season, from diseases that can easily circulate at events.

Imports are allowed from states with USDA-active cases if they meet all import requirements outlined in our policy:https://www.bah.state.mn.us/sites/default/files/documents/NWS-Import-Requirements.pdf
