INFORM: USDA NAHMS Feedlot Study 2011

USDA's National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) has released four information sheets from the Feedlot 2011 study. One portion of this study examines large U.S. feedlots (1,000 head or more capacity) in 12 states. The feedlots were divided into two groups based on capacity: (1) 1,000 to 7,999 head and (2) 8,000 head or more.

 

Information Sheets  

• Biosecurity on U.S. Feedlots 
• Emergency Preparedness and Management on U.S. Feedlots
• Importance of Pre-arrival Management Practices to Operators of U.S. Feedlots 
• Quality Assurance on U.S. Feedlots, 2011 

 

Feedlot 2011 focuses broadly on animal health and management practices on feedlots throughout a major cattle-feeding region of the United States. Visit the NAHMS Feedlot Studies site at http://nahms.aphis.usda.gov/feedlot for additional information.
