Upcoming Webinar: Understanding bovine tuberculosis

Editor’s Note: This post has been updated to include the full bovine TB webinar video and a short survey for producers.

Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is hosting a webinar on November 17 at 7:00 p.m., with participation from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The session will focus on bovine tuberculosis (bTB) and what it means for Alberta’s cattle industry.

Presenters will provide background on the disease, share the latest information on the current bTB trace-in, and discuss what producers need to know moving forward.

“This webinar is a great opportunity for producers to hear directly about how investigations like this work, what steps are taken by CFIA and industry, and how producers can stay informed,” says Karin Schmid, ABP’s Beef Production and Extension Lead.

Titled “Bovine Tuberculosis: The Bacterial Ninja,” the session will focus on information relevant to primary producers, including an overview of the investigation process, common questions from producers, and resources for those seeking additional information or support.

Those interested in learning more about bTB are encouraged to register and join the webinar via Zoom.
