Feed industry professionals recently gathered in Nashville for USPOULTRY’s 2024 Feed Mill Management Seminar. Program elements covered a multitude of topics, from regulatory updates to biosecurity, maintenance programs, transportation and more.
Cobb-Vantress Director of Feed Milling, Nutrition and Transport Dr. Leasea Butler provided a careful examination of biosecurity. Butler explored primary drivers of the need for enhancing biosecurity, including changing regulations and increasing threats of zoonotic diseases. In order to improve biosecurity, Butler encouraged attendees to “redefine clean” and look critically at their facilities to ensure that opportunities for pathogens and contamination to occur are minimized.
