MORRISVILLE, N.Y. — Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County will be hosting the seminar: Biosecurity for Horse Farms & Effective Quarantine Procedures. The workshop will take place on Wednesday evening, June 14th, 2017 from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm at CCE-Madison County’s Farm and Home Center on 100 Eaton Street, Morrisville, New York 13408
Speaker Karen Nowak, RN, CCRN, is the founder of Northeast Hackney Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. and has forty-one years of experience in critical care for humans with a multitude of serious infections, including ten years teaching critical care and ER nursing, twenty years teaching EMT’s and Paramedics. This knowledge and experience have been used to develop isolation procedures for horse farms which are based on sound infection control principles and are easy to set up while being very effective to prevent the spread of infection.
At the seminar, you will learn to:
Protect your horses from contagious diseases; set up quarantine/isolation stalls that minimize the risks to healthy horses; recognize early signs of the most common contagious diseases of horses; care for horses with strangles, equine herpe virus, and equine influenza; and properly disinfect the stall and equipment used on infected horses.
Plenty of handouts will be distributed during the seminar to assist on the farm and at shows.
