July 26, 2024: Impact of the H5N1 virus on the 2024 Minnesota State Fair
For the past several months, the Minnesota State Fair has been monitoring the H5N1 situation and has been in constant communication with the Minnesota Board of Animal Health (BAH) and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).
At this time, the H5N1 recommendations and protocols from the Board of Animal Health (effective June 18, 2024) apply to lactating (currently producing milk) dairy cattle. This means that much of the State Fair’s immense array of livestock shows and exhibitions will continue as usual; however, some changes will be implemented to protect our state’s livestock and minimize the potential spread of the H5N1 virus. Here is what guests and exhibitors can expect this year. Read more.
