Free Online Continuing Education: Biosecurity in Livestock and Poultry Production

July 4, 2022 — 

Biosecurity is becoming more important than ever in our interconnected world, and veterinary professionals play a crucial role in protecting the health of U.S. livestock and poultry.

The Center for Food Security and Public Health (CFSPH) at Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine is offering free online continuing education to veterinarians, veterinary technicians, animal health professionals, and others interested in biosecurity in livestock and poultry production. There are two course options.

• The basic course covers principles of biosecurity and biosecurity risks like personnel, animals, and vectors. It is RACE®-approved for 3 CE hours for veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
• The advanced course covers all of the information from the basic course, plus additional topics, including risk assessment and writing/implementing a biosecurity plan. It is RACE®-approved for 6 CE hours for veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

The biosecurity courses are now open. Register here!
