MDA suspends specific auctions and other events

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Agriculture has suspended all domestic waterfowl and waterfowl egg auctions, shows and swap meets, through the end of May over bird flu concerns.

The suspension for waterfowls was enacted because they are less likely to show signs of bird flu, which can lead to spreading of the virus.

The MDA adds that all poultry auctions, shows and swap meets are suspended in counties containing control areas or surveillance zones until the virus has been eradicated. For more information, visit agriculture.mo.gov.
