Small Ruminant Animal Pest Control

We had a great class on parasite and pest control in small ruminant animals. But if you missed it, you can still find excellent information. One such resource is the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control. Check out their website for information. And if you still have questions, give us a call in the office.

HPAI: Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza

Highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI, is a rapidly spreading viral disease that can infect many types of birds. Avian influenza, often called avian flu or bird flu, can be common, but some strains are highly pathogenic, which means they are more deadly. Introduced by migrating wild birds, HPAI can spread through spring migration and affect all domestic poultry — small and backyard flocks as well as commercial industries.

Poultry with HPAI do not survive the illness. Vaccines for HPAI are not readily available.
