Oregon will require all captive mink to get COVID-19 vaccines

Oregon will require all captive mink to get COVID-19 vaccines Oregon will require all captive mink to receive COVID-19 vaccines. The move follows an outbreak of COVID-19 among animals and workers at a large mink farm in Oregon last November. Following that outbreak, several mink outside the farm tested positive as well. The Oregon Department of Agriculture’s emergency temporary rule requires all captive mink to be vaccinated by Aug. 31. Any captive mink born or imported after that date must be vaccinated within 120 days of birth, or 60 days after import. Any person holding captive mink also must participate in surveillance testing for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans.

Oregon mulls ban on mink farms as COVID threat

June 01, 2021 By Published on May 12, 2021 A bill before the Oregon Senate would phase out mink farming within the state in less than a year because of concerns that mink represent a SARS-CoV-2 threat to public and animal health. Oregon is one of nearly two dozen U.S. states with mink farming operations and one of the biggest producers of mink pelts, according to Fur Commission USA. SARS-CoV-2 infection has been confirmed in mink at one Oregon operation as well as at operations in Michigan, Utah, and Wisconsin. Preliminary findings indicate that farmed mink may have transmitted SARS-CoV-2 to farmworkers who were in close contact with the infected animals in Denmark and the Netherlands. Out of an abundance of caution, Denmark, the largest mink producer in the world, culled millions of mink after some animals appeared to have been infected by farmworkers in whom COVID-19 had been diagnosed.

Wisconsin’s No 1 mink farming industry now seen as a COVID-19 risk

By Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism Jan 30, 2021 3:01 PM By Kate Golden For Wisconsin Watch The first sign of trouble was that the mink stopped eating, said Hugh Hildebrandt, one of two main mink vets in Wisconsin. Next came coughing and sneezing, lethargy and labored breathing. Hildebrandt had worked with mink for 30 years. He wrote the Merck Veterinary Manual section on mink. But he had never seen anything like this. Captive mink have a flu season in the fall, just like people they get it from us, in fact. But what appeared in the two Taylor County, Wisconsin mink farms that saw outbreaks in October was not flu, which tends to sicken the weakest animals. This took out the strongest mink, the mature adult females. Over a few days, it killed hundreds per day and about 5,500 total on the two ranches. It whipped through by coat color, light to dark: The lighter-coat mink, ranch-bred to bring out recessive genes, have long been more delicate.
