Dairy cows cannot be moved between states without testing for the highly pathogenic avian influenza, U.S. officials announced on April 24.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a federal order that says “prior to interstate movement, dairy cattle are required to receive a negative test for Influenza A virus.” A strain of the highly pathogenic avian influenza A, H5N1, has been spreading across the country since first being detected in cows in March. The influenza is commonly known as the bird flu.
At this point, no beef cattle are known to have been infected with the virus.
The order, which takes effect on April 29, covers lactating dairy cattle.
Testing requirements for other dairy cows “will be based on scientific factors concerning the virus and its evolving risk profile,” the USDA said.

Dairy Cows Must Be Tested for Bird Flu Before Moving Between States: USDA
Another virus exported to here from Chicomland.
Bird Flu Passport for Cows ,LOL
From the article:
Authorities say the risk to the public is low and testing of the flu samples has uncovered no signs that the virus has changed to make it more transmissible to people or among people.
Bird flu cases have rarely appeared among humans in the United States but hundreds have been confirmed worldwide since 2003. Through April 1, out of 889 cases across 23 countries, 463 resulted in death, according to the World Health Organization.
Jeremy Farrar, the organization’s chief scientist, said recently the spread to ruminants raised concerns that the virus could develop the ability to transmit between humans.
If that happens, then it’s crucial to quickly respond with vaccines, testing, and treatments, he said.
Several vaccines against H5N1 have already been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but manufacturers would need to receive fresh clearance for updated formulations, an agency spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.
The manufacturers, Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline, and CSL Seqirus said in statements they are monitoring avian flu and stand ready to develop avian influenza vaccines as needed.
There have so far been few deaths among cows that tested positive for the influenza, according to the USDA. Some have already been cleared and started producing milk again for commercial consumption.
Anything Dairy, beaf, chicken, grains, and farm related...
These folks sure have a thing for mass starvation.
This is gonna put a damper on all those traveling dairies out there
What if the cattle simply walked in a pasture from New Mexico to Arizona? Who will be in the field to test them?
The idea is to make farming (AKA food production) so expensive it is impossible to continue.
The end of food is the end of the human race.
Win-win, for the mass-murdering, billionaire, globalist psychopaths.
The Chinese are infecting the entire wild bird population? It comes from wild birds who feed on the same grain the cows eat.
And the virus samples they are finding are dead, not active.
These despicable bastards are trying to murder us all and what’s left control
They hate farmers because farmers are regular people and usually conservatives.
They want to replace farming with tech. Lab grown meat and vertical indoor grow veggies. Neither has a small carbon footprint due to the infrastructure required and energy consumed but it’s never really been about carbon or the planet or climate change.
It’s all about control/money being funneled and consolidated upwards.
I am hearing the virus is actually spreading via the food. Where they are chopping up infected animals and then turning it into food for livestock. I am sure that gets to move across state lines with no limitations at all.
They want a total monopoly on everything and must make independent entrepreneurs of any kind extinct.
Once the flying pigs teach the cows how to fly across state lines they will need to call in air assets to enfoece the law.
Mad cows thinking they’re birds.
Poultry trade.
Will birds be tested for Mad Cow disease too?
Unfortunately, If you have any shred of sanity and intelligence, it’s really unbearable to be living in this world right now
