Bird Flu found in a pig on a Crook County Farm

The nation’s first case of bird flu in a pig appears to be in Central Oregon. State Veterinarian Dr. Ryan Scholz says five pigs were exposed to the virus on a Crook County farm, where the owner reported 70 sick ducks and geese last week. All of the birds and pigs were euthanized. A necropsy later revealed one of the pigs was in fact infected with bird flu. The Oregon Health Authority says no people have tested positive for the virus.
