Description:

Excellent systems of communication between farm staff and veterinarians are critical when it comes to managing disease outbreaks and reducing their potential spread.

Eric Heskett, DVM, PhD, at Case Farms in North Carolina, told Poultry Health Today that communication is critical to being able to act as fast as possible to contain outbreaks, identify disease and protect bird health.

Using an example of a broiler breeder manager in Ohio who saw a sudden, 14-fold increase in mortality in a matter of a day (24 hours), Heskett explained how a text message alerted him to a potentially catastrophic disease outbreak and gave him the chance to work immediately to contain any disease risk.
