Free 2009 Calendar to Help Promote Biosecurity for Birds
As part of its ongoing efforts to educate backyard poultry owners about what they can do to protect their birds against avian influenza (AI), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is offering a free and informative 2009 calendar. The calendar features full-color photos of poultry and other birds each month. It contains useful information in both English and Spanish about protecting poultry from infectious diseases, such as AI, and includes tips on what to do if owners suspect their birds are infected.
Calendars and other free materials may be ordered from the Biosecurity for Birds Web site at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/birdbiosecurity/ .
