Reduction and fate of manure pathogens and antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance is a complex issue as it is comprised of not only pathogenic bacteria, but also non-pathogens which share genes within complex environmental systems, such as agricultural fields. This webinar describes potential measures to reduce pathogen and antimicrobial resistance in manure as well as potential fate and transport of manure pathogens and antimicrobial resistance following land application of manure. This presentation was originally broadcast on May 17, 2019. More… Continue reading “Reduction and fate of manure pathogens and antimicrobial resistance”
New Technologies to Help Us Share Stories and Ideas
This two-part workshop exposes participants to a wide variety of existing and new technology, and how these applications can enhance learning and programming.
During each part of the session, there will be a series of short presentations, opportunity for sharing of ideas, followed by time to ask questions and try the tech at tables around the room.
Session moderated by Alison Holland, University of Minnesota Extension
