    The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has made a final environmental impact statement available to the public, which evaluates response strategies for outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in the U.S. poultry industry. Three options are considered: no federal help, federal help without extra biosecurity measures, and federal help with biosecurity incentives, with the last being the preferred choice as it likely causes the least environmental harm. The public can review this document until May 19, 2025, after which a final decision will be made. The chosen strategy aims to quickly control the virus, protect public health, and minimize the impact on the environment and economy.
