The Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection has confirmed the presence of highly pathogenic bird flu at a Jefferson County farm.
This is the first case of HPAI in Wisconsin since 2015.
State Veterinarian Doctor Darlene Konkle says there are nearly three million birds at the hen laying facility.
The owner also has a couple of flocks nearby and they are being examined closely. State laboratories are said to be working to narrow down which strain of the virus infected the Wisconsin flock.
Millions of birds will be killed to prevent the spread of the disease.
