Avian Influenza - Preparedness and Response

Even if "bird flu" occurs in wild birds, Manitoba's domestic poultry flocks are protected by established bio-security measures and strong veterinary support services. However, it is still important to plan for the possibility of disease. Manitoba is actively planning with other governments and local organizations.

In the months ahead, as Manitoba and Canada plan and prepare there will be more information to guide the response to a potential avian influenza outbreak.
