Salute our Veterans!

Memorial Day is May 26.

Practice, practice, practiceAvian influenza has got animal health officials across the globe making plans to contain any

outbreak. LDAF officials want to make sure Louisiana is prepared. How do they do that?Practice, practice, practice.

“The threat of an avian influenzaoutbreak remains a major concernand animal health officials want tobe certain all personnel are proper-ly trained in case of a contagion,”said Dr. Henry Moreau, LDAFstate veterinarian.

To be prepared, Animal HealthServices recently hosted an AvianInfluenza Response TabletopExercise at the East Baton RougeParish Office of HomelandSecurity and EmergencyPreparedness.

More than 45 participants repre-senting multiple agencies andindustry, including the LDAF’sLivestock Sanitary Board, stateveterinary medical officers, AnimalHealth Barn supervisors, AnimalHealth technicians and BrandEnforcement personnel attended.Additionally, the Louisiana AnimalDisease Diagnostic Lab at the LSUSchool of Veterinary Medicine,LSU AgCenter and LouisianaOffice of Public Health’s PublicHealth Veterinarian also took partin the drill.

Rounding out the list of attendeeswas industry’s Pilgrim’s Pridepoultry plant representatives andUSDA Animal and Plant HealthInspection Service, VeterinaryServices branch and Centers forEpidemiology and Animal Healthpersonnel.

The exercise was facilitated byinstructors from the AgriculturalPreparedness Center of KirkwoodCommunity College of CedarRapids, Iowa who also evaluatedthe response according toHomeland Security ExerciseEvaluation Program guidelines.

The exercise ended with a

demonstration by LDAF personnelperforming response tasks whiledressed in personal protectiveEquipment.

The exercise tested the capabilityof the LDAF’s Foreign AnimalDisease Rapid Response Team torespond to an outbreak of highlypathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

Avian influenza (AI) is a virusthat causes disease and high mor-tality in various types of birds, thusthe common name “bird flu.”

AI viruses can infect chickens,turkeys, pheasants, quail, ducks,geese and guinea fowl as well as awide variety of other birds, includ-ing migratory waterfowl.

AI is primarily spread by directcontact between healthy and infect-ed birds through respiratory secre-tions and feces. The disease alsocan be spread through indirect con-tact if healthy birds are exposed tocontaminated equipment or materi-als.

Of particular concern is the HPIH5N1 virus.

“The HPI H5N1 virus can bespread, under certain conditions,from birds to people as a result ofextensive direct contact withinfected birds,” Moreau said. “Thatvirus is the one that animal healthand medical people are most con-cerned about.”

This aspect of the disease pres-ents a particular challenge to emer-gency responders who must per-form their response activities whilewearing cumbersome personal pro-tection equipment to prevent per-sonal exposure to the virus.

Veterinarian Diane Stacy, theLDAF’s emergency response train-ing coordinator, said the personal

protection equipment respondersmust wear creates its own set ofproblems for the South.

“In Louisiana’s heat, working inTyvek suits and respirators will bequite challenging,” Stacy said. “Weeven had safety personnel on handto monitor the responders.”

The exercise was specific foravian influenza, but the team hastrained to respond to all foreignanimal diseases such as Foot andMouth Disease and ClassicalSwine Fever, Moreau said.

“This was the first exercise forthe team that involved a simulatedoutbreak of H5N1 Avian Influenzaat a local fair,” Moreau said. “Thispractice is essential for the team inorder to hone the skills necessary torespond to an actual disease out-break.”

Moreau said the H5N1 strain ofHPAI has not yet been found in theU.S., but the disease has beenfound in Europe, the UnitedKingdom, Asia, the Mideast, andAfrica.

The rapid spread of the disease,especially in Asia, has publichealth officials in the U.S. con-cerned.

LDAF Commissioner MikeStrain was encouraged with theprogress of the Louisiana team.

“The response team, under Dr.Moreau’s direction, has undergoneintense training to learn how torespond to a foreign animal dis-ease,” Strain said. “I’m confidentwe have the right people in placewith the right training to minimizeany animal health issue we couldface.”

LDAF Ag Specialist Johnny Hollis and Veterianry MedicalOfficer Dr. Mark Scurria (in hazmat suits) learn proper dis-posal techniques from a Kirkwood instructor. Dr. HenryMoreau practices as incident commander in a classroom set-ting at emergency preparedness headquarters.

La. Agriculture & Forestry TodayAgriculture and Forestry

Commissioner Mike Strain,D.V.M., celebrated his first 100days in office recently at a break-fast and coffee meeting with staffand other well-wishers.

The gathering was held in theLouisiana Department ofAgriculture and Forestry’sVeterans Memorial Auditorium.

Strain said the refurbishing ofthe auditorium and public natureof the breakfast meeting is sym-bolic of his overall vision for theLDAF.

“We are conducting all our pub-lic hearings and commission meet-ings in this room,” Strain said.“Everything about this administra-

tion will be above board, open tothe public and transparent.”

Strain said his first weeks inoffice were hectic.

“I hit the road running andhaven’t stopped since,” Strain said.“I’ve traveled the state makingspeeches and LDAF presentationsto 68 organizations in 100 days.

“I’ve told the farmers, foresters,parish farm bureaus, consumergroups, everyone I possibly can,how much agriculture and forestrytouches almost every aspect oftheir lives.”

Strain said he created an envi-ronment of reform within theLDAF and is proud of the work-force and their dedication.

“It’s important for the citizens ofLouisiana to know that their LDAFemployees are here to serve theneeds of the public,” he said.

One of the immediate changesStrain instituted was the halt of allbuilding construction using LDAFoffice staff and others not trainedfor industrial work.

“Remember, we are going to beas transparent as possible,” Strainsaid. “We’ve gone to great lengthsto make sure each employee isdoing the job he or she is trained todo.”

Strain said other noteworthyachievements of his administra-tion’s first 100 days include:

- required statutory oaths of

office for all appointed positions- revised purchasing procedures- reduced fleet inventory and fuel

costs- implemented employee training

and development programs- revised personnel and sub-

stance abuse policies- launched an information-

packed Web site.Strain reiterated his pledge to

keep Louisiana agriculture andforestry strong.

“I came into this job knowing Iwas facing the challenge of balanc-ing the department’s budget, butthe staff and I are rolling up oursleeves to get the job done,” hesaid.

Practice, practice, practice,continued from page 1

Strain said the team’s online and classroom trainingin FEMA’s National Incident Management System-Incident Command System and USDA’s NationalAnimal Health Emergency Management Systemguidelines provided the team with the basic informa-tion to control an avian flu out break.

“We’re always thinking positive, but preparing forthe worse,” Strain said. “Let’s hope they never have touse their training.”

Strain stressed the importance of proper biosecurityon poultry farms and in backyard and hobbyist flocks.

“New birds represent a risk to your established flockso quarantining them is always a good idea,” Strainsaid. “Avoid putting new birds, including baby chicks,in contact with droppings and feathers of leftoverflocks.

“Always wash your hands after handling poultry. It’sjust good common sense measures. If everybody prac-tices good biosecurity then Louisiana shouldn’t haveany problems.”

Good biosecurity measuresare very important for largescale poultry farming. JaySims (left) is helped into per-sonal protection equipmentby Johnny Hollis and veteri-narian Mark Scurria. LDAFpersonnel recently took partin a mock avian influenzaoutbreak emergency pre-paredness drill. StateVeterinarian Henry Moreausaid he was very pleased withthe training and the readinessof the LDAF to handle anyanimal health emergency.

Natalie Glover, an AgricultureSpecialist in the LouisianaDepartment of Agriculture andForestry’s Poultry and EggDivision, was named as the inaugu-ral recipient of the “Living theValues” honor by CommissionerMike Strain.

“I believe that Natalie exhibitedthe highest standards of the PublicFirst message of our department’svalue statement,” Strain said.“Looking at her track record,selecting Natalie was an obviouschoice.”

Natalie, pictured above cookingegg omelets at the recent Louisiana Egg Commission breakfast atthe State Legislature, joined LDAFin September 2001 as an

Agriculture Specialist I in thePoultry & Egg Division. Gloverwas promoted three times, with hercurrent title being that of Poultry &Egg Agriculture Specialist DistrictSupervisor.

organize the cattle rescue effort and was very interested in learning how the new corralswould work in a real life situation.

“The new pens will be a great tool in rescuing lost or stranded animals in times ofemergencies, and the more we get acquainted with operating the pens the more efficientwe’ll be in rescuing animals,” Moreau said.

The cattle rescue began with an early morning pre-planning session to coordinate themultiple agencies involved in the rescue.

Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff deputies stationed several patrol cars near the levee onHwy. 1. Two Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents, along with their flatboats, wereon stand-by in order to help drive the cattle down the levee.

Robillard also employed the services of several neighbors and nearby cattlemen tofacilitate the rescue.

“The cattle were definitely spooked,” Robillard said. “We knew that going in and wewere trying to be patient.

“One cow jumped into the water just as we were penning her, then about three dozenhead followed her into the water. We let them settle a bit and eventually recovered themall.”

Several bags of cattle pellets were also used to lure the cattle into the pens. According to Gill and Moreau, the pens proved valuable in the cattle rescue effort. “The pens served to corral and funnel the cows into waiting trailers,” Gill said. “They

worked as designed and will be a real asset to the department and to cattlemen across thestate.”

By 1 p.m. all 200 head were rounded up and transported to higher ground.To see video highlights of the portable livestock pens in use, visit the LDAF Web site

at www.ldaf.state.la.us.

The OK Corral can be used to help resuce lost or stranded animals in timesof emergencies. LDAF emergency workers learned a lot about what theportable pens can do and what they can’t do.

Rising waters from the nearby MississippiRiver prompted the Louisiana Departmentof Agriculture and Forestry’s Office ofAnimal Health Services into action as partof “Operation Cattle Rescue.”

The situation turned dire in Pointe CoupeeParish as nearly 200 head of cattle werequickly running out of pasture atop aMorganza Spillway levee.

In early April, rising water from theMississippi River flooded about 1,500 acresof winter wheat within the forebay area of

the Morganza Spillway. Local farmers,working alongside U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers crews, tried to stave off the tideby filling large sandbags and placing themon top a low crop-protection levee withinthe spillway.

The crop-protection levee usually protectsbottomland fields from the normal spillwaywater but this year the Mississippi River

crested higher than normal and funneledmore water into the Morganza Spillway.

Unfortunately for the farmers’ wheatcrops, the low levee was overtopped.

But the stranded cattle were spared thesame fate as the wheat crop, thanks in largepart to the Louisiana Department ofAgriculture and Forestry’s Office of AnimalHealth Services and a supply of newportable livestock pens,

Pointe Coupee Parish cattleman BrettRobillard notified the local Office of

Emergency Preparedness when he realizedhis cattle might be in danger.

By late April, the Mississippi River hadyet to crest and Robillard’s Brahman-crosscattle were losing ground to flood water.His herd migrated atop the Morganza leveeswhen the nearby levee was breeched inearly April.

“The cattle were getting scared and hun-

gry and I knew I needed some assistancewith moving the cattle to higher ground,”Robillard said.

Several local and state agencies wereinvolved following the initial request forassistance including the LDAF, the PointeCoupee Parish Sheriff’s office and theLouisiana Department of Wildlife andFisheries.

Joshua Gill of the LDAF’s Office ofAnimal Health Services is the AgriculturalEmergency Support Coordinator who initi-ated the department’s “Incident ActionPlan.”

“I got the call late Sunday afternoon andby early Tuesday morning all the people andagencies were in place and ready for thecattle rescue,” Gill said.

In addition to rescuing cattle, the eventalso served as a training session for LDAFpersonnel to get acquainted with the mov-

able livestock pens. The pens were acquiredthrough a grant from Homeland Securityand are used to corral cattle and horses dur-ing crisis or emergency situations.
