    Definitely not enough views for such incredible source of information. My new favorite channel, just when I was running out of Richard Perkins videos.

    Have you ever had to treat your livestock for a zoonotic disease like Brucellosis, Campylobacteriosis, ecthyma, Cryptosporidiosis, E. coli. Influenza, or Leptospirosis? I'm wondering if farms are required to test there livestock regularly? Fantastic video, very informative! 🐑🐖🐤🐓

    Thanks for the video! (Am currently working on a masters in vet public health). Despite their level of education and experience, I'm always a bit wary of vets coming and going to farms to treat animals. I'm not sure how much they really pay attention to biosafety procedures? The same goes for delivery drivers. (There was an EHV outbreak nearby a few years ago and the paranoia was high). I also wish that vets had more time/were more willing about informing their clients about potential zoonotic disease threats. Knowing what I know now, I potentially exposed myself to a lot when working around farms and animals.

    What does "broad spectrum" mean vs the others that kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses

    • @HeiferUSA
      @HeiferUSA  2 роки тому +1

      broad spectrum refers to ones that kill all 3 (bacteria, fungi, and viruses). as opposed to "sanitizer" that only kills bacteria. Hope this answers your questioN!

    Another awesome video.
    Can you do a video on making your own starter poultry feed? Thank you

    • @HeiferUSA
      @HeiferUSA  3 роки тому +2

      Great idea! Might be tough for us to do since haven't made our own in a while, but we'll look into it!

    Farm "biosecurity" ends up being an excuse for corporate or unethical farmers not to be transparent. How are you supposed to "know your farmer" without seeing where your food comes from?

    • @HeiferUSA
      @HeiferUSA  2 роки тому +2

      We think our biosecurity protocols are pretty transparent. After all, we made a video about it showing every step! People can still come visit to see for themselves every part of our operation.
