There has been recent detecon of mulple avian influenza viruses in North America (Canada and United States). These viruses have apparently been introduced by migratory birds. These influenza viruses have been detected in capve birds, backyard poultry, and commercial poultry flocks in more than 20 different states and provinces in USA and Canada. This situaon is UNPRECEDENTED in the history of the poultry disease outbreaks in North America. Confirmed cases closest to the state of Ohio include 3 cases in Ontario, Canada north of Lake Eire and 1 confirmed case just west of Fort Wayne, Indiana. These viruses appear to be related to an influenza virus that has been circulang in Asia and Europe throughout 2014. This group of influenza viruses is highly pathogenic to domesc poultry, making them severely sick with high mortality of more than 90% in many cases. These viruses represent a low to negligible risk for human infecons. However, as a precauonary measure, confirmed infected poultry and poultry products do not enter the food supply. Poultry and poultry products are safe to consume when they are properly handled and cooked. While surveillance and quick diagnosis are essenal tools to detect the virus and limit the spread of the disease and eventually control the outbreak, it’s the BIOSECURITY efforts that will prevent the infecon from reaching your flock, whether it is commercial or noncommercial. Biosecurity can be defined as “the sound sanitary pracces that are used to stop the infecous agent from reaching the host”. But, before understanding biosecurity pracces and the logic behind them, one must understand the dynamics of disease transmission. Infecous diseases in bird populaons can be transmied by two primary ways: 1) Direct transmission, which means the infecous agents are transmied through direct physical contact between infected and uninfected suscepble individuals. 2) Indirect transmission, which means the infecous agents are transmied through indirect transportaon vehicles (humans, pets, wild animals, feed, water) to reach the suscepble individuals.

This situation is UNPRECEDENTED in the history of the poultry disease outbreaks in North America.

Animal Project Judging for 2015

July is just around the corner and it will be time for project judging. Here are some highlights to keep in mind as you begin to prepare for July.

1) 4-H’ers will have an interview with a judge as part of animal project judging. Possible topics for questions include: Nutrition & Feeding, General Knowledge, Management & Health, Selection, Showing & Fitting, and Record Keeping.

2) Members will complete a skillathon as in the past. Be sure to download skillathon study sheets from www.monroe.osu.edu or pick them up at the Extension Office.

3) Project books will be reviewed by the judge during the interview.

4) The total score for judging will be calculated as follows: skillathon (25 points), interview (50 points), project book (15 points), and appropriate dress/appearance (10 points).

5) Members are not required to make a poster for animal project judging. In the past you have had the opportunity to make a poster if you wanted and then it would be judged later by the 4-H Committee. For 2015, there will not be a poster contest of any kind.
