On today's show...
This spring, flocks returning from their winter migration will likely bring bird flu back to South Dakota.
State Veterinarian Beth Thompson introduces us to the virus and shares what she's worried about this season (1:00 to 16:39).
We get a human health checkup from a member of the On Call with the Prairie Doc® team. Jill Kruse, D.O., discusses how hospitals test for bird flu and ways to prevent infection (16:39 to 21:17).
Jason Ramsdell, general manager of Dakota Layers, unpacks just how devastating an outbreak can be for ag producers. Federal law requires that an infected flock must be depopulated (21:17 to 35:18).
Plus, SDSU Extension Veterinarian Russ Daly takes us into his research on bird flu's growing impacts on farm cats (35:18 to 49:17).
