Spread education and information.. good luck fellow producers..
Attached is a fact sheet for the New World Screwworm.
As things progress, there will be publications coming out from official sources. Please utilize these and not rage bait media posts or posts from politicians. This is a serious issue, and needs to be handled efficiently.
Like we’ve said before, this is not a barn fire. There will be clear processes to treat livestock, transport livestock, and sell livestock. It will take an extra step or two, but nothing we can’t handle.
Remember, there are pre-treatments medicines that were not here in the previous outbreak. And many treatment options if you get an infected animal. If you have any questions, always consult with your local vet.
For the general public- there will be 0 animals infected ever make it into the supply chain. There are protocols from the ranch to the processing plant. American Beef is safe and will continue to be, which is more than we can say for foreign beef!
