Keeping BioSecurity Top of Mind

With animal disease concerns in various regions worldwide, it’s a good time to review or even begin your work in biosecurity.

The Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) sums up a starting point best with the two steps outlined in the article, Preventing a biosecurity breach:

  1. Identify your biosecurity risks 
  2. Develop biosecurity protocols
Once you’ve completed those steps, it’s crucial to regularly review risks and protocols, and evaluate the quality of your protocol management and your commitment to those protocols.

For an all-encompassing resource, download the Canadian Beef Cattle On-Farm Biosecurity Standard – Implementation Manual.

You’ll also find many great biosecurity resources via BCRC and VBP+ (Verified Beef Production Plus).

Wildfire Resources

In light of recent wildfires and ongoing dry conditions in areas of the province, we have updated our wildfire resource page.

The page includes a map of livestock evacuation centres via Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies, as well as links to the Government of Alberta’s alerts and updates,  information around insurance, mental health resources, and emergency preparedness.

ABP’s New Location

In an ongoing effort to maximize investment in programs that directly benefit producers, ABP is now headquartered in a smaller, more affordable office space.

Find us at our new location: 

120-7777 10 ST NE
