In this episode of Bred to Perfection, we are talking with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo, a Poultry Veterinarian at UC Davis, about HPAI – Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza.
This disease is spreading rapidly, and has shown up in a dozen or more states. In fact, a number of states are restricting all movement of poultry, and poultry related products to hopefully stop the spread of this lethal disease. Listen in to this informative discuss, and learn what you can do to protect your birds.
I was introduced to Dr. Gallardo through the CDFA – The California Department of Food and Agriculture. Since then we’ve recorded and posted a number of episodes on health care and disease prevention.

Here are the topics we will address:
- What is Avian Influenza?
- How many types of AI are there?
- What is the incubation period?
- How is AI transmitted?
- How fast does AI spread?
