Avian Influenza Webinar for Small Flock Owners

Backyard flocks are at higher risk of contracting avian flu because they are more likely to spend time outdoors and can be exposed to the droppings from wild birds.

Get Arkansas-specific updates from Extension Veterinarian Dr. Dustan Clark, and learn how to recognize and prevent the avian flu in your birds.

The spring series will be offered March 24 - April 30. Topics relate to poultry diseases, parasites, breeding and hatching and poultry welfare issues. The webinars are free, but registration is required.
