The business is currently under quarantine after a case was reported on Jan. 6. A KDA spokesperson told KMAN and The Mercury Friday that this is an ongoing response but did not disclose how many birds have been affected nor the commercial operation under quarantine.
KDA officials are encouraging residents who have poultry and live in Pottawatomie County to check the department’s online map tool. It will let residents know whether their location is within a current control area or surveillance zone, which may require permitting or monitoring of their flock.
