Anyone with poultry flocks: 

INCREASE BIOSECURITY: It is extremely important for poultry owners to increase biosecurity measures to protect their birds from HPAI. Use this toolkit to learn more – https://poultrybiosecurity.org/#Plan


MONITOR FLOCKS: Monitor your flock for clinical signs of HPAI including monitoring production parameters (feed and water consumption, egg production) and increased morbidity and mortality. Any changes in production parameters that could indicate HPAI should be reported. 

If you have sick birds or birds that have died from unknown causes, help is available at the Colorado Avian Health Call Line at CSU, their number is 970-297-4008.
