University specialists say livestock and poultry producers need to prepare for animal diseases that can result in big expenses and months of lost income. University of Missouri swine veterinarian Dr. Corrine Bromfield says every outbreak is a reminder that steps need to be taken to maintain biosecurity.
“We do need to keep in mind that whenever we do see something it’s better to be proactive than reactive,” Bromfield told Brownfield Ag News at a workshop in Sedalia, “and I think that we’ve learned that with a number of our outbreaks.”
