The tool aims to provide early warnings of H5N1 bird flu outbreaks, which have been linked to sudden drops in milk production and changes in milk quality, such as thickening.
Since its introduction in 2024, the tool is designed to mitigate the impact of the virus on cattle, which may face movement restrictions when infected.
Farmers will benefit from timely alerts, allowing them to take preventive measures and manage their herds more effectively, potentially reducing economic losses.
