Bird flu found at Muskegon County poultry farm

MOORLAND TOWNSHIP (WOOD-AM) - The state has euthanized 35,000 turkeys from a commercial farm in Muskegon County after avian influenza was found there.

Michigan produces around 5.3 million turkeys a year and the loss will have little-to-no impact on the supply, agriculture officials said.

The facility, reportedly Sietsema in the Ravenna area, is under quarantine.

Bird flu was first found in Michigan in a backyard flock in February.
