When Disease Strikes: Foreign Animal Disease Preparedness for Farms

• Tuesday, August 25, 2026, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Bird flu is already in New York. New World screwworm has returned to the U.S. for the first time in nearly 60 years. And foreign diseases like foot-and-mouth and African swine fever remain one shipment away from disrupting farms nationwide.

Do you know which animal diseases threaten your farm, and what to watch for?

Join us for a practical webinar covering the current and emerging foreign animal diseases that could affect New York livestock and poultry. We'll cover what each disease is, what it looks like, whether it's here or on the horizon, and the simple steps every producer can take to protect their animals and livelihood.

You'll learn about:

• Highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu)
• What's happening in New York right now
• New World Screwworm 
• The parasite spreading north and why "eyes on animals" matters
• Foot-and-mouth disease
• African swine fever, and other foreign threats on the doorstep
• Emerging insect-borne diseases moving into new regions
• How to recognize warning signs and who to call
• Everyday biosecurity that protects your herd or flock
