New Teagasc research found that farmers frequently feel overwhelmed during an outbreak and often lack clear guidance on next steps.
In response, Teagasc, DAFM and Animal Health Ireland (AHI) have launched a step-by-step breakdown guide, on-farm biosecurity videos, a vet training programme, and an information pack for herdowners when a breakout occurs.
