MSU Extension highlights fair animal‑health plan, statewide virtual programming

MSU Extension staff told the Jackson County Human Services Committee that an animal‑health emergency preparedness plan they developed with the fair board and partners was used during a hot, humid fair week and helped protect most exhibition species. "We prepared the animal health emergency preparedness plan," the presenter said, adding the swine barn received ventilation improvements and swine exhibition times were shortened to reduce heat‑related risk.
