May 23 (UPI) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture Thursday expanded support to help dairy producers stop the spread of the H5N1 bird flu in cattle. There are two reported human cases so far in people who worked near cows.
The increased support includes up to $1,500 per premises for biosecurity planning and implementation and up to $2,000 per premises to help reimburse for veterinary costs associated with H5N1 testing.
