Services Details

Disease Management; Our aim is to increase resilience of agri-food systems to threats and crises through improved animal disease prevention, early warning, and management of risks as wells as animal welfare training for the care and use of farm animals in research and teaching.

We provide technical assistance in the management of Domestic, Zoonotic and Transboundary diseases. We provide course materials for all livestock.

​

We can provide capacity for efficient delivery of domestic and international online support for emergency preparedness, and risk reduction in the control of livestock disease, particularly monogastric (Poultry, Swine) and ruminant animals (Cattle, Sheep and Goats). We can provide farm site visits if required.

Based on the consultation, we identify specific needs and best utilize national and international expertise to assess disease risk information to assist in the design, implementation and evaluation of risk-based surveillance and risk-based control measures.

Green Livestock Production:

We provide technical assistance to farmers raising livestock with knowledge base on how to reduce methane and greenhouse gas emissions and implement carbon sequestration technologies when raising livestock and crop farming. This is in keeping with the US executive order for the USDA to address climate resilience and facilitate farmers to implement best practices of Climate Smart Agriculture.

We provide on-line and face-to-face courses for our signature "Green Livestock Production" series.  We will provide training modules to assist farmers with training on how to implement technologies to produce climate smart commodities and earn USDA carbon credit.

For 21st century farmers we are introducing functional innovative concepts in sustainable agricultural farming such as Agro-Medicine, Agro-Energy, Agro- Conservation, in the production of climate smart commodities. The USDA is currently focused on climate smart farming in agriculture, particularly in building partnerships for production of climate smart commodities that subsequently provide incentives for participating farmers and agricultural commodities production industries. For this series we include training modules on production of pre- and post-harvest Value Added, animal and plant products that impact animal and human health using green technologies. In this series our feature teaching modules include how to produce heart healthy value-added products and the use of a naturally occurring weed to boost the immune system  and provide resistance to intestinal parasites in livestock, using smart agriculture technologies.

We provide online and face to face courses for Agro-Biosecurity such as prominent agriculture programs focusing on protection of the US and global food supply. We'll focus on global solutions that facilitate best practices in support of existing domestic and international pest exclusion programs such as the USDA-APHIS International Joint Guatemala-Mexico-USA Medfly Program that serves as the functional barrier against fruit infestation and damage across areas like Belize, Guatemala, and the United States. We will also provide simple teaching modules on existing pest exclusion and agroterrorism awareness strategies in livestock production and management as well as food safety and emergency resiliency programs.
