Be a Flock Defender!
Biosecurity is the key to keeping our Nation’s poultry healthy. USDA’s Defend the Flock education program offers free tools and resources to help everyone who works with or handles poultry follow proper biosecurity practices. These practices will help keep your birds healthy and reduce the risk of avian influenza and other infectious diseases.
Biosecurity is everyone’s job. Become a Flock Defender today and help us protect all flocks!
