The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is investigating the possible introduction of the H5N1 virus at three dairy farms in the state’s Central Valley.

The agency reported that it was investigating the situation on August 29.

If confirmed, those would be the state’s first cases of H5N1 in cattle.
