Are you attending the Keystone Farm Show in York, PA this January? Drop in to the HPAI and Biosecurity Resource Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day of the show and start making biosecurity a priority with three easy steps. We will have signage and free PPE equipment, including wash kits, available for producers who stop by.
Pennsylvania continues to monitor the rapid acceleration of cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in dairy cattle across the United States. While there have been no positive HPAI cases reported in PA, establishing biosecurity protocols is essential for dairy and poultry producers to protect their animals, protect their people, and protect Pennsylvania from the disease. It’s clear that biosecurity is important to Pennsylvania agriculture, but our goal with this Resource Center is to make it less intimidating for producers.
Staff from the Center for Dairy Excellence, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and Penn State Extension will be available for walk-ins from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day at the Resource Center. No appointments are needed. Dairy producers who visit the HPAI and Biosecurity Resource Center can:
- Start creating a biosecurity plan for their operation.
- Ask candid questions and sign up for voluntary testing.
- Get free biosecurity material such as: “No Trespassing Signs”; Lysol concentrate; scrub brushes; wash tubs; PPE samples like boot covers, gloves, masks, coveralls and more.
