Protecting Your Herd: The Secure Beef Supply Plan

Biosecurity has been getting a lot of attention recently. With foreign animal diseases like foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) making headlines, understanding the role that producers, veterinarians, transporters, and state and federal agencies is important if an outbreak occurs. Producers and experts on cattle health issues, Monte Bordner, Dr. J.J. Goicoechea, and Dr. Julia Herman are on the show discussing what the Secure Beef Supply Plan is, why biosecurity is important to operations of all sizes, and what simple steps you can take to protect your herd and profitability if a disease outbreak occurs. They address concerns many producers have and give examples of when biosecurity protocols made a difference in their herds. This episode is brought to you as part of the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program grant that NCBA received to improve educational resources around Secure Beef Supply.
