About the Seminar:

The Department of Agriculture is pleased to announce a seminar that directly addresses the needs, challenges, and opportunities all geared towards improving the local livestock sector. It is with this thrust; we hope to strengthen the collaborative efforts with the farming community by hosting this important seminar series.

This session will cover:

Herd health plans help to prevent disease and coordinate efficient livestock production and profits, topics on this will include:

  • Available vaccines
  • Deworming
  • Livestock identification

Biosecurity is important for managing the movement of disease (both into and off the farm) and works harmoniously with a good herd health plan. Biosecurity topics to be discussed include:

  • Farm-specific biosecurity plans
  • Quarantine
  • Farmer/farmhand training
  • Sanitation/Disinfection measures

Join us for an evening of learning how to safeguard your livestock and boost your farm’s productivity and profitability.
