With the recent avian influenza news announcements, USPOULTRY is making available its “Infectious Disease Risk Management: Practical Biosecurity Resources for Commercial Poultry Producers” program.

The program was created to help develop more effective biosecurity practices and is designed to be used as a program development tool for personnel training and teaching.

“The avian influenza virus may be carried by migratory birds, and there is a growing incidence being identified along the North American continental flyways. The need to have an effective biosecurity program in place is essential and should be implemented immediately,” said John Glisson, vice president of research programs for USPOULTRY.

The biosecurity program was developed under the guidance of industry and academia members. The program is interactive and includes educational videos and content, including an introduction video. The program can be used as a reference, for employee training and as a teaching resource tool.

This program is available to USPOULTRY members, free of charge. The program can be ordered by clicking here.
