Two more commercial egg producers in Indiana have been hit with bird flu.
The Indiana State Board of Animal Health announced late on Wednesday that two flocks totaling 2.6 million birds have been infected and are under quarantine in Jay County. The farms in question have not been revealed publicly.
In these cases, entire flocks are euthanized, and the facilities sanitized and eventually repopulated.
The State Board of Animal Health has said the outbreaks pose no risk to human safety.
Over the past year, nearly 45 million egg-laying hens have been lost nationally due to this strain of bird flu.
Nearly seven million commercial birds have become infected in Indiana since the start of the year.
