Livestock biosecurity means preventing disease outbreaks by limiting the spread of germs to, within, and from farms, by using practices such as mapping farm premises, setting clear lines of separation, and ensuring people, equipment, and vehicles don’t move germs between locations. These steps are essential for stopping disease spread and reducing the economic impact of a major disease event.
The WI Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and UW-Madison Division of Extension have teamed up to provide Holding the Line premises biosecurity mapping workshops around the state to help livestock producers and veterinarians draft maps for their livestock operations.
These FREE workshops are funded by a USDA NADPRP grant. Attendees will leave the workshop with their draft premises maps in hand.
Pre-registration is required and space is limited.
Registration closes one week before each session.
Last date to register for these sessions are one week prior – Aug 20, and then Oct 6.
