Minnesota has lifted the last remaining quarantines on poultry farms that were infected with highly pathogenic bird flu, marking a milestone in the state’s recovery from an outbreak that cost its turkey and egg producers over 9 million birds. The Board of Animal Health says 90 percent of the 108 infected farms were cleared to restock by Oct. 6. In a statement Tuesday, it says the few remaining sites have now completed the cleaning, disinfection and testing needed to gain approval for restocking.
