This webinar examines the role of the environment in livestock disease risk and surveillance. Presentations will explore the association between manure handling activities and PRRSV outbreaks in wean-to-market swine, as well as the use of environmental sampling to better understand pathogen distribution on HPAIv-infected egg layer farms. Together, these studies highlight how environmental data can inform biosecurity practices, disease monitoring, and future research applications in livestock production systems. This presentation was originally broadcast on February 20, 2026. Continue reading “Pathogens Beyond the Animal: Environmental Drivers of Disease in Livestock Systems”
