Biosecurity, Livestock and Poultry Disease Control Programs

The Poultry Disease Programs provide every poultry producer, from large farms to backyard flocks, technical assistance, testing and inspection to ensure disease-free, quality eggs and poultry. Programs include diagnostic testing for salmonella pullorum-typhoid, avian influenza, and mycoplasma, flock inspections and egg grading.

Livestock disease control programs include, for cattle: brucellosis, tuberculosis, Johne's disease and bovine spongiform encephalophy; for swine: brucellosis and pseudorabies; for sheep and goats: scrapie; for horses: equine infectious anemia; and for llamas/camelids: brucellosis, tuberculosis and blue tongue.

The Division of Animal Health, Biosecurity and Dairy Services provides technical assistance in biosecurity management practices. Biosecurity minimizes the  introduction of disease onto farms, limits the spread of disease already on farms, and reduces the risk of disease being carried between farms. This includes controlling the transmission of disease-causing agents between animals, from animals to feed and from animals to equipment that may directly or indirectly contact other animals.
