Yes. The BAH has produced a biosecurity brochure for large-scale poultry producers in conjunction with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This pamphlet gives general information on AI, Minnesota’s surveillance efforts, and recommendations to maintain healthy flocks and prevent AI introduction. Additionally, in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the University of Minnesota, and the Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA), two AI brochures have been produced for distribution. One pamphlet is for practicing veterinarians and pet owners, the other for small-scale poultry producers. Each covers general information regarding AI, frequently asked questions, and recommendations to protect ones pets/small flocks.
