Ep76 - Biosecurity Basics with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo

In this episode, we are talking with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo about the practice and importance of biosecurity.

Most Breeders don’t understand biosecurity, and the importance of keeping your bird safe from the exposure of disease. Some of us have strains that we’ve been keeping for over 30 years. Losing our birds to disease would be a travesty. What we are going to talk about today, if you follow it, will save your flock, and protect those valuable and irreplaceable strains.

It’s so much easier to prevent disease than it is to try and cure a sick bird. In most cases birds that were sick become chronic and never fully recover. And disease can spread very quickly throughout the yard.

There’s a lot of good information packed into this episode that I know you do not want to miss.
