MADISON - The state veterinarian has issued some new guidelines for showing birds at a fair in Wisconsin this summer.
Wisconsin hasn't reported a new case of avian influenza since May 4. But state veterinarian Paul McGraw says new cases of the bird flu are still popping up in neighboring states.
The new guidelines ban birds from moving to or participating in any swap meets or shows in the state that are not held as part of a county, district or state fair. The second guideline requires fair organizers to have exhibitor's certify that there haven't been any bird deaths on their farms for at least ten days prior to the fair or show.
