Why This Matters to Oskaloosa Food Products

Iowa — our home state — has been one of the most impacted states in the nation, with over 30 million birds affected since 2022. Our team actively monitors HPAI developments to ensure supply chain continuity, maintain our Kosher and Halal certifications, and protect the quality and availability of our products for customers nationwide and globally. We have successfully navigated every HPAI wave since 2022 through strategic sourcing and operational resilience.

Live Migration Data

BirdCast Migration
Tracking

Real-time bird migration patterns detected by the U.S. weather surveillance radar network. Powered by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, BirdCast provides critical insights into migratory bird movements across North America.

Why Bird Migration Matters for Egg Production

Migratory waterfowl and wild birds are the primary natural reservoir for avian influenza viruses. During spring and fall migration seasons, wild birds travel along established flyways, potentially carrying HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza) across state and international borders. Monitoring migration patterns helps egg producers like Oskaloosa anticipate periods of elevated biosecurity risk and implement enhanced protective measures for commercial flocks.

4 Major Routes
Migration Flyways

Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, Pacific flyways cross Iowa

Spring & Fall
Peak Migration

March-May and September-November show highest activity

HPAI Correlation

Outbreak spikes align with waterfowl migration timing

Iowa's Strategic Location in the Mississippi Flyway

Oskaloosa, Iowa sits directly within the Mississippi Flyway — one of North America's most heavily trafficked bird migration corridors. Each spring and fall, millions of waterfowl, shorebirds, and songbirds pass through Iowa, creating seasonal windows of elevated biosecurity concern for commercial egg producers. Our operations team uses BirdCast data alongside USDA APHIS alerts to time enhanced biosecurity protocols, including increased wild bird monitoring, visitor restrictions, and equipment sanitation procedures.
