| Impact Report | Livestock Disease/ Agriculture & Food Safety Biosecurity (Quay County) Impact for Livestock Disease/ Agriculture and Food Safety Bio-Security encompasses programs in live stock health management and Agriculture Bio-security throughout the years programming efforts. This plan was developed in response to the many issues plaguing New Mexico Agriculture the past several years. Agro terrorism was brought on by Emergency Management personnel bringing awareness to how susceptible our food industry is to a nationwide outbreak of animal disease such as that in the United Kingdom with Foot and Mouth disease. Issues in Quay County within the past few years have included Bovine Trichomoniasis, parasites, rabies, and Tuberculosis status changes and management. Quay Counties Agriculture Emergency plan is updated on an annual basis in cooperation with local and area emergency management, emergency personnel, State Police, City Law Enforcement, and County Sheriff. Animal health management is included in the Annual Tucumcari Bull Test as well as educating including cooperators in New Mexico’s Beef Quality Assurance program. Additionally, participants in the “Living on the Land” curriculum for small acreage owners spent one session on the importance of animal health, signs, symptoms, laws and regulations. Contact numbers for this plan include 850 participants through program participation, 320 people through on site one on one consultations and over 10,000 reached through new media (radio and newsletters). |
