FLOCK & FOLKS / FIELD GUIDE

Poultry health & biosecurity

Disease monitoring matters to farms, workers and the wider food system.

Avian influenza is a changing animal-health issue. Delaware’s Department of Agriculture publishes state guidance and explains reporting and biosecurity expectations. This publication does not attempt to map affected farms or infer farm identities from disease notices. Protecting farm biosecurity and avoiding the spread of unverified location claims are essential. Always use current DDA and USDA notices for active events.

What to keep in view

  • Use official DDA updates for Delaware-specific guidance
  • Do not infer affected farm identities from incomplete information
  • Distinguish confirmed detections, surveillance findings and precautionary actions
