In the “Let’s Talk Turkey” episode of the Unplucked podcast produced by the Poultry Science Association, Carrie Cremers, DVM, manager of technical service and animal welfare at Jennie-O, discussed how the weight of ever-present HPAI has led to biosecurity burnout among workers.

Enviro Tech has received a label amendment from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allowing the use of PeraGuard® AH, a dry formulation of peracetic acid, to be used to disinfect surfaces from bacteria and viruses, including avian influenza A (H3N2).
