FOX LAKE, Wis (CBS 58) - For the first time in Wisconsin history, a case of avian influenza was detected in a dairy herd.

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture reported the bird flu was detected in a Dodge County dairy farm.

“This herd was found with a surveillance program because we had evidence of nucleic acid or evidence of pieces of the virus in the unpasteurized milk in the bulk tank,” Wisconsin Veterinary Laboratory President Keith Poulsen said.

Poulsen says there are no sick cows or people on the farm, and there is no concern for food safety.

“There’s a lot of people working on this, right now we know that it’s limited to one premises or one farm,” Poulsen said.

Katy Schultz and her family run the Tri-Fecta Farms in Fox Lake, a dairy farm just miles away from the farm with the virus.

“Everyone was obviously in a state of shock at first when the news came out but it came very quickly after that we all decided as a community we’re gonna do whatever it takes to help,” Schultz said.

Schultz and her team are taking extra precautions after the news of the bird flu across town.

“We’re just asking people if you’re not an employee here or family here, we’re just asking you to stay out of the barns right now,” Schultz said.

The farm is moving in person appointments over the phone and checking the herd daily for flu symptoms.

“Making sure that all of our staff and everyone here at the farm is extremely aware of what those symptoms look like and what we’re looking for when we’re making sure our animals are healthy,” Schultz said.

With the proximity to the virus and extra caution, the goal on the Tri-Fecta farms is staying the same.

“You’re in the mecca of dairy and so if we know how to do anything and that’s absolutely how to produce nutritious and delicious milk,” Schultz said.
