Watt Global Media is holding an upcoming webinar, sponsored by Zoetis, on Wednesday, June 10 at 9:00 a.m. central time regarding the current state of the worldwide highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) situation and what can be done to reduce the spread of the disease.

The impact of eradication efforts will be discussed as well as vaccination and how it can complicate disease surveillance.  In addition, how trade restrictions have reduced U.S. poultry exports, and the impact of summer weather that might dampen the spread of HPAI will also be discussed.

Speakers include:

  • Dr. David Swayne, Laboratory Director, Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, USDA’s Agricultural Research Service
  • Dr. Mary Pantin-Jackwood, Veterinary Medical Officer, Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory
  • Will Sawyer, Vice President, Rabobank, Food and Agribusiness Research Group
