Twenty years of safe deep water drilling did not excuse the oil industry for not being prepared for its recent disaster; 80 years without an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease does not let US livestock industries off the hook from having comprehensive response plans in place.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starting on the farm, what do we need to be ready to do (or be doing already) to minimize the chance of \u201cgoing down\u201d in an outbreak?\u00a0 Can farmers identify potential links with infected or potentially infected farms?\u00a0 Can access to the farm be limited to a single, controlled entrance point?\u00a0 Can a cleaning and disinfection station be set up away from facilities housing susceptible animals?\u00a0 Can employees, especially those who work on other farms or have animals of their own, shower in and out of the workplace?\u00a0 If animal movements are stopped to stop the spread of disease, how will that affect farms?\u00a0 If milk movements are stopped for a period of time, how will milk be disposed of that is unmarketable?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to know more about this project, send me an e-mail.<\/p>\n
