Overview
- Milk from a Dodge County dairy tested positive on Thursday and Friday, with both results confirmed by the National Veterinary Services Laboratory.
- The farm had five earlier negative samples during ongoing statewide surveillance, and state officials reported no recent animal movements or obvious illness in the herd.
- DATCP placed the herd under quarantine and is isolating any sick cattle while coordinating the response with USDA, FDA, CDC and state health partners.
- The CDC currently assesses the risk to people as low, and Wisconsin health officials are monitoring farm workers for flu-like symptoms.
- Authorities say pasteurized dairy products remain safe for consumers, and farms that meet quality standards may continue shipping milk for pasteurization.
