Attention to all poultry growers both commercial and owners of backyard flocks.
A series of four webinars this month aims to help poultry owners protect their birds from the H5N1 strain of the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, which continues to infect poultry in Arkansas and across the country.
Dr. Dustan Clark, extension poultry health veterinarian for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture and associate director of the university’s Center of Excellence for Poultry Science, will lead the sessions.
Registration is open now for four online trainings in January. More online and in-person trainings will be scheduled through February. The presentations are free, but registration is required.
