Noble County OSU Extension Office

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has confirmed a commercial poultry flock detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. Confirmed cases can be tracked at ag.ok.gov/disease-alerts.
Beginning May 1, 2022, all poultry exhibition, public sales and swap meets are banned in the state of Oklahoma until further notice in order to halt any potential spread of this virus. The ban is set to end on July 30th, unless evidence shows it should be extended.
The recent HPAI detections in birds do not present an immediate public health concern. It remains safe to eat poultry products. There is no risk to the food supply, but the affected birds will not enter the food supply system.
Possible cases should also be reported to the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture at (405) 522-6141. Visit our website for an overview of HPAI and signs and symptoms.
For updates on this developing situation or for general questions, please call 211 or visit https://ag.ok.gov/disease-alerts/.
