Media interview UMaine Extension’s Knight on national egg shortage 

WFVX (FOX 22/ABC 7 in Bangor) and WGME (CBS 13 in Portland) interviewed Colt Knight, associate professor and livestock educator with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, on how outbreaks of the bird flu are contributing to the rise in the cost of eggs due to a national shortage. “It’s a real gut punch whenever you lose animals whether it’s natural causes or disease or anything. These livestock farmers put their whole heart and soul into raising animals, and they hate to see anything happen to them. There’s a big mental health crisis that goes along with some of these outbreaks,” Knight said.
