4-H Animal Science Learning Modules
- Disease Prevention… is designed specifically for 4-H volunteer leaders who work with livestock projects. This module is one of two modules brought to you by Veterinary Medicine Extension. This training module teaches you bio-security practices and how they can be used to reduce the risk of contracting and spreading diseases while raising 4-H livestock. It is a great way to learn disease prevention while providing you with inspiration and teaching ideas so you can bring these concepts to youth in your county.

Questions that judges could ask youth in the sheep show ring this summer, related to Premise Identification.
Foot and mouth disease (FMD), a highly contagious viral infection of cloven-hoofed, wild and domestic animals, is characterized by fever, lameness, vesicles and erosions. It is one of the most likely agents for use in agro-terrorism. Trade embargoes, eradication efforts and loss of consumer confidence resulting from an FMD outbreak in the United States could lead to dire economic consequences both locally and nationally.The following links include a FMD brief, and three brochures we made for the National Center for Foreign Animal and Zoonotic Disease Defense. The youth, teen, and adult producer flyers can be printed in color.
