SHIC/AASV Webinar - HPAI in Livestock and Risk to Swine

The recent detection and confirmation of HPAI in domestic livestock by USDA has raised questions regarding the emerging threat and potential risks  for swine herds.  During the webinar, presenters will provide the latest information on influenza A virus, including an overview of the pathogen, global and domestic distribution, research outcomes for HPAI experimental infection in swine, experiences and perspectives of the dairy industry from the current outbreak, and an outbreak investigational tool for identifying and mitigating biosecurity risks.  

Presenters confirmed to date for the webinar include:

• Dr. Amy Baker, USDA ARS
• Dr. Bailey Arruda, USDA ARS
• Dr. Jamie Jonker, National Milk Producers Federation
• Dr. Derald Holtkamp, Iowa State University

Presenting timely and responsive webinars to inform the swine industry on potential emerging disease threats is part of SHIC’s mission to protect the health of US swine.
