Two new videos featuring University of Maryland Extension specialists were released by Capital Media Group last week. The videos focus on steps that can be taken by commercial poultry farms and technical service providers to prevent an outbreak of Avian Influenza (AI). The videos were funded in part through a USDA National Institute of Food & Agriculture Smith Lever Special Needs Grant with matching funds from the University of Maryland College Park. Using science based education, the videos give a brief review of AI and review biosecurity best practices. In a video specific for technical service personnel, biosecurity best practices for service vehicles and tools is discussed. The videos can be found here and here.
