Biosecurity should be a top priority for dairy producers to keep their herds healthy. By implementing strict biosecurity measures, producers can prevent the spread of disease among their cattle and workers. Investing in these protocols is not just a matter of farm management but a commitment to animal welfare, public health and the long-term viability of animal agriculture.

Today, we are joined by Dr. Tom Earleywine, director of nutritional services for Purina Animal Nutrition, who will dive deep into biosecurity practices to implement in your dairy operation.
