More than a billion dollars will be spent in the coming months on the fight against High-Path Avian Flu, and part of that plan includes biosecurity assessments.
“And really developing a customized strategy to try and target and address the issues associated with the specific wildlife environment of the farm. Contrast that with a more general bucket of assessments through called biosecurity incentive-focused assessments, which really focus on the producers’ biosecurity plan that they’ve already got in place and evaluating how well they apply that plan to the farm,” said Lisa Rochett with USDA’s APHIS.
As part of the plan, the USDA will share up to three-quarters of the cost to fix the riskiest biosecurity concerns on operations. Farmers must also pass an audit prior to restocking to qualify for indemnity payments.
