Indiana animal health officials are responding to three new detections of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, or HPAI, in northern Indiana commercial egg layer operations.
According to the latest update released May 25, the affected flocks include two operations in Elkhart County and one in LaGrange County. All three sites have been placed under quarantine as response efforts continue.
The first affected operation, identified as Elkhart 47, includes approximately 28,323 birds. A second Elkhart County operation, Elkhart 48, involves about 28,500 birds. Officials also confirmed a case identified as LaGrange 94, impacting roughly 28,304 birds.
State officials say all three operations are commercial egg layer facilities.
As part of the response, 10-kilometer control areas remain active in portions of Elkhart, LaGrange, and Noble counties. In addition, 20-kilometer surveillance zones have been established across portions of Elkhart, Kosciusko, LaGrange, and Noble counties to monitor for additional spread of the virus.
The Indiana Board of Animal Health continues to oversee quarantine, surveillance, and testing efforts as part of the state’s ongoing HPAI response.
Since the current outbreak began in 2022, multiple poultry operations across Indiana and the nation have been affected by the virus. Officials continue to encourage poultry producers to maintain strict biosecurity measures to help reduce the risk of transmission.
