Researchers at Minnesota's Raptor Center hope bird flu study can help turkey farmers

#wcco #news #localnews Could baby owls and eagles be the key to stopping the spread of bird flu? The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul is hoping their research can help turkey farmers. This time of year, visitors flock to the Raptor Center to learn about falcons, hawks, owls and eagles. But in another part of the building, researchers are learning how these birds are impacted by avian influenza. Minnesota still ranks as the No. 1 turkey-producing state. But since 2022, more than 10 million commercial birds have been lost to avian influenza.
