Michigan’s biggest egg producer is advocating for the vaccination of egg-laying hens against the highly pathogenic avian influenza. Herbruck’s Poultry Ranch CEO Greg Herbruck has called on the federal government to take “urgent and critical” measures to address the H5N1 bird flu crisis by implementing an aggressive vaccination strategy.

With egg prices soaring, the Trump administration is planning a new strategy for fighting bird flu that stresses vaccinations and tighter biosecurity instead of killing off millions of chickens when the disease strikes a flock.
