While the California outbreak affected a smaller backyard farm in Fresno County, affecting 100 birds, HPAI infected commercial turkey flocks in the other three states, bringing the current total of affected birds to over 45 million. Two producers from Clark County, South Dakota, saw over 60,000 birds affected in their commercial flocks. Minnesota had two counties, Brown and Stearns, affected by HPAI, affecting nearly 90,000 birds combined. Then a single outbreak in a flock in Sanpete County, Utah, affected 73,200 birds. Other states infected with HPAI in September include Washington, Massachusetts, Montana, Tennessee, Michigan, Idaho, Wisconsin, North Dakota and Ohio, which killed a commercial flock of more than 3 million birds. The United States is not the only country experiencing recent outbreaks of HPAI. Canada has confirmed six new cases this month in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario.
