PA Dairy Summit: Participate in an Interactive Biosecurity Session

Bring an Aerial Photo of Your Farm

We learned from our poultry partners the risk of not having a biosecurity plan for your operation. With National FARM’S new secure milk supply agreement, it’s easier than ever for dairy producers to put together a biosecurity plan that could protect you from a potential crisis. If you choose to attend the “Creating a Biosecurity Plan for Your Operation” breakout session led by Miquela Hanselman (NMPF) and Danelle Bickett-Weddle (Preventalytics) on Wednesday, be prepared for a really interesting, interactive session. 

*If you have an aerial photo of your farm, bring it with you so you can use it with the farm security experts who will help you develop your customized biosecurity plan during the session.

One of our keynote sessions will also help us learn from the Avian Influenza Pandemic and what it could mean for our farms’ biosecurity if something similar happened in the dairy industry: Lessons Learned From the Avian Influenza Pandemic, a Panel Discussion with Dr. Kevin Brightbill, Byron Shaffer, and Jennifer Reed-Harry. Until it happens, it is hard for dairy producers to imagine what a highly contagious outbreak in their animal population could do to their family business. Panelists from Pennsylvania’s poultry industry will discuss what they wish they had known when AI hit and what they are doing to never let it happen again.
