LEAF: Biosecurity- Controlling Dangerous Germs Lurking on the Farm
LEAF: Biosecurity - Controlling Dangerous Germs Lurking on the Farm
Wednesday, October 2, 2024, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
It's inevitable: microbes like viruses and bacteria are everywhere! Luckily, most are harmless or helpful, but there are some diseases, such as the recent Avian Influenza outbreak, that we need to take steps to minimize on our farms for the safety of our food and families. CCE Livestock Specialist Amy Barkley will explain why biosecurity on our local farms is so important, the latest concerns to be aware of, research-based best practices to keep people and animals healthy, and more.
