Materials from 2001 Biosecurity Video Conference

UW-Extension sponsored a nationwide video satellite conference, "Biosecurity on the Farm: Preventing Foot and Mouth and Other Diseases." The program focused on prevention and control of foreign animal diseases, such as foot and mouth disease, and demonstrated some basic biosecurity procedures that should be routine on farms with livestock.

Guest speakers were experts from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Wisconsin Emergency Management, UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine and College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and UW-Extension.
