SALT LAKE CITY — For months now, we’ve seen the price of chicken and eggs go up, and part of the reason is a nationwide Avian Flu outbreak over the past year. Here in Utah, experts said this was the worst the virus has ever been, with other animals falling sick too.
“It was early morning in mid-April of last year when one of the employees reported seeing some extraordinary number of birds dead at one of the buildings,” recalled Cliff Lillywhite with Oakdell Egg Farms. “We went out and knew something was bad right away because you just don’t see that kind of mortality.”
Out of 2.2 million birds across the state that either died from the virus or were depopulated, over 1.5 million birds were in Cache County, about 700,000 in Sanpete county, and more detected in Iron, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties.“Eggs got a lot more expensive, turkey was really hard to find at Thanksgiving,” said Amanda Price, an interim state veterinarian with the Utah Department of Agriculture.
With these rising water levels, Stout said this could bring more birds carrying the virus to the area. The aviary doesn’t allow the public to feed waterfowl anymore because it attracted other wild birds that could carry the virus, and those that prey on other birds that might get sick.
