CCE Flock Talks Presents:
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in New York
Monday, March 7, 7pm - 8pm
Join Cornell Cooperative Extension and Dr. Chad Wall, Field Veterinarian for NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets, to learn about the current outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, the threat it poses to NYS poultry production, and how we can protect our birds and stop the spread! This event is for Small Production Flocks as well as Backyard/Hobby Flocks.
Topics covered include symptoms of the disease, keeping your poultry safe, and what will happen if the disease is found in your flock or a flock near you. The update will leave ample time for Q&A - bring your questions!
Pre-registration is required at https://tinyurl.com/NYS-HPAI. This meeting will be held over Zoom with a call-in option available. There is no cost for this event.
The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza response in NYS is being addressed by Cornell Cooperative Extension's NY Extension Disaster Education Network (NY-EDEN).
