The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said that by Dec. 19 it had tested 1,432 samples of raw milk from across Canada for highly pathogenic avian influenza and none had the virus.
“This is another proactive surveillance measure to monitor Canadian dairy cattle for HPAI and helps ensure that HPAI is caught early if introduced into the national herd,” the CFIA said on its website.
There are currently 74 active outbreaks in poultry in British Columbia and a total of 88 in Canada.
In California, two-thirds of dairy herds are infected. It is the biggest milk-producing state in the United States.
