Reportable Wildlife Disease

Proposed regulation pending LRC review Spring 2025

Explanation of proposed regulation: KRS 150.015 charges the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources with the duty to protect, preserve and conserve the fish and wildlife resources of the Commonwealth. KRS 150.025 (1)(h) allows the Department to promulgate administrative regulations necessary to carry out the purposes of KRS Chapter 150. Because of the impact of certain diseases found in livestock and poultry to the native fish and wildlife populations, the Department believes it is necessary to establish a listing of all reportable diseases which can be transmitted to fish and wildlife and set out the conditions under which the diseases shall be reported. This administrative regulation establishes a comprehensive list of reportable diseases and the conditions under which the diseases shall be reported.

Bird watchers and other wildlife enthusiasts can take certain precautions to reduce the risk of spreading HPAI while pursuing their outdoor activities.

Avoid Sick or Dead Wildlife

Avoid direct contact with wildlife that appear unhealthy or were found dead.
Keep pets away from sick or dead wildlife.
Report sick or dead wildlife to Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.

Practice Good Hygiene

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after outdoor activities, especially if there has been any contact with birds or bird habitats. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers if soap and water are not readily available.
Wear disposable gloves if handling equipment that may have come into contact with bird droppings or other potentially contaminated surfaces.
Clean off shoes if they came into contact with waterfowl feces. Wash hands thoroughly afterwards with soap and warm water.
Clothes and shoes worn outdoors or in other areas frequented by waterfowl should not be worn around pet birds, backyard flocks, or livestock. Have dedicated clothes and shoes to wear around your animals that are not worn anywhere else.

Avoid Feeding Wildlife

When wildlife gathers in areas abundant with food, the risk of disease transmission rises. Animals that would normally be scattered are brought together, making it easier for pathogens (such as viruses, bacteria, or parasites) to spread. Refrain from feeding wildlife to help prevent disease transmission.

Properly Dispose of Waste
When wildlife gathers where food is abundant, the risk of disease transmission increases. Dispose of waste, including food scraps, in designated bins to avoid attracting and unnaturally clustering birds and other wildlife.
