U.S. Department of Agriculture data shows that the deadly outbreak intensity makes it the worst in United States history.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that avian flu has killed 50.54 million birds in the United States this year, making the outbreak the country's deadliest in its history.
As investor website Seeking Alpha reports, those flocks can often exceed a million egg-laying birds at various industrial chicken farms.Turkey farmers said avian flu, or bird flu, had taken a major hit on the industry in the months and weeks leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday, as demand usually soars.
WWNYTV reported recently that there were about half the turkeys, on average, at farms because bird flu affected bird counts. “It’s their natural behavior to cuddle very closely, and when they huddle closely they create a pile and unfortunately when they are small they will suffocate,” Cabalo said. “We lost almost half of our birds to a piling incident in the barn because they couldn’t go outside.”
