(MNN)- Additional testing is being done on milk from a Stearns County dairy herd that tested positive for H5N1 influenza or bird flu. The Minnesota Board of Animal Health’s Doctor Brian Hoefs says further testing will determine if this is active infection or if it potentially is an infection that is waxing and waning and on its way. Milk samples from the farm will be tested weekly until there are three consecutive weeks of negative testing. Hoefs says all milk sold in stores is safe because it is pasteurized to kill bacteria and viruses including bird flu.
