It is probably the single greatest weapon that we have against Avian Influenza. Unfortunately, biosecurity is not consistently applied by all farmers and all Poultry Companies. We need to look at, as far as number two is concerned, a few aspects of our current Emergency Response plan so we can respond more quickly, more rapidly to an incident.
