Nebraska reports first dairy cow bird flu case; virus now in 17 states, but pasteurized milk is safe.
Nebraska has confirmed its first case of bird flu in a dairy cattle herd, marking the virus's spread to 17 states since March 2024.
The H5N1 strain, similar to one in California, was detected in central Nebraska through mandatory milk testing.
Infected cows show symptoms like reduced milk production, decreased appetite, and nasal discharge, but most recover with minimal mortality.
The affected herd is quarantined, and officials stress that pasteurized milk is safe due to virus inactivation during pasteurization.
While human cases are rare and mostly linked to direct contact with infected animals, the general public remains at low risk.
The USDA and Nebraska officials continue investigations and urge dairy farms to strengthen biosecurity.
