Equine biosecurity workshop to teach disease prevention

By Adam Jackson

Security in any environment is a good idea and on the farm where animals co-mingle, it is import to protect your animals against disease.

A free equine bio-security workshop scheduled for Jan. 26 will help farmers, ranchers and hobbyists do just that.

“What we’re hoping to do is teach people about bio-security and keeping their horses safe,” said Alberta Equestrian Foundation equine biosecurity project manager Mikka Shatosky. “It’s about keeping their horses, themselves and the communities safe.”

Dr. Aleeta Haas of West Country Animal Clinic and Bear Creek Animal Clinic will be the guest speaker for the event.

Shatosky says that one of the main goals for the workshop is to promote processes that can help with disease prevention within the farming community. More
