The Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA) is planning two animal health workshops this summer—one August 4 in Ulysses and the second August 6 in Perry.
Each workshop will include two sessions. The afternoon session, from 2:30 to 5:00, is intended for emergency management professionals and county officials. Discussions will focus on the county’s livestock emergency response plan, as well as livestock truck rollovers, disposal and sheltering. The evening session, from 5:30 to 7:30, will be for veterinarians and producers. Topics will include updates on theileriosis/Asian longhorned tick, New World screwworm and other animal health issues; animal disease traceability; and secure food supply plans. A networking dinner will be held between sessions.
Both workshops and the dinner are free, but registration is required. To register, click here or call (785) 564-7468.
