The latest report from the Minnesota Board of Animal Health shows a total of 23 commercial turkey flocks have been diagnosed.

A spokeswoman for the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association says the state’s commercial operators are better prepared to deal with the current outbreak than they were with the one in 2015 that devastated flocks, wiping out about 9-million birds.
