Animal Disease Traceability provides important tool for livestock protection

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Of all the resources the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Animal Health Office has to respond to an emergency such as an animal disease outbreak, the Animal Disease Traceability Program is a powerful tool that involves cooperation between state animal health officials, veterinarians, and producers.
The current Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) program began in 2013 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The ADT program establishes minimum identification and documentation requirements

to trace livestock moving across state lines. Livestock species covered under ADT are cattle, bison, equine, goats, sheep, poultry, swine, and farmed deer.
Traceability is achieved by applying a form of official ID to an animal. For most livestock species, official ID is an ear tag. The tags can be visual or electronic. The visual tags are metal or plastic with a unique ID number. Electronic tags can be scanned using a reader, allowing for efficient data management. The official ID is then recorded on a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) or other movement document.
Amanda Cathers, GDA Animal Disease Traceability coordinator, explained Georgia adopted the ADT standard set by the USDA, though other states may have more stringent rules. She said the ADT program aims to ensure a rapid response when an animal disease event occurs.
"The basic definition of ADT is that it is

a system in place to locate and look at an animal's movement history during an animal disease investigation," Cathers said.
She added that ADT doesn't prevent disease, and the program doesn't have the capability to track animal movements in real time. She called ADT a tool that state animal health officials can pull from their toolbox to determine where a diseased animal has traveled, identify at-risk animals, and control a disease outbreak.
"The more quickly we can contain a disease will greatly reduce the economic impact that the disease event will have not only on our producers in Georgia, but the national livestock industry as a whole." Cathers said. "That's the most important message to get across about ADT."
Since the current traceability program started a decade ago, it has assumed a

Two virtual equine workshop series offer information on feeding, animal management

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Starting this month, the University of Georgia Extension Service is offering the fifth annual Horse Owner's Webinar Series and Equine Exchange Lunch and Learn series to provide expert discussion on equine nutrition and practical equine management information for horse owners.
Robyn Stewart, UGA Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources agent for Lincoln County, is organizing the two courses. She explained the Horse Owner's Webinar Series is a six-week course that focuses on specific topics for each webinar, which includes talks from experts in the equine industry and academics.
This year's series begins on Jan. 16 and will cover applied equine nutrition and feeding. The series will have guest speakers from

the University of Kentucky, Cornell University and a representative from the feed company Nutrena. Dr. Kylee Jo Duberstein, a UGA equine faculty member, is also scheduled to speak during the series.
The Horse Owners webinar series will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. weekly from Jan. 16 to Feb. 13.
The Equine Lunch and Learn is a monthly webinar that began on Jan. 8. and goes through the end of the year. Stewart explained that she believed any horse owner would benefit from either series; the Lunch and Learn is less formal and more accessible for those unable to attend the weekly Horse Owner's series.
"We recognized about two years ago that some might have challenges who work fulltime and then get off work and may not want

UGA brings poultry science to Georgia's classrooms

By Maria M. Lameiras The University of Georgia

Poultry has grown to become the top commodity in Georgia's No. 1 agricultural industry. Acquainting school-aged students with potential career paths in avian science is critical to staffing the state's poultry sector.
Building on the foundation set by Avian Academy, the popular continuing education course for teachers offered annually by the University of Georgia's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES), the Georgia Department of Education worked with CAES to create middle- and high-school poultry science curricula. Now in its third year of use in Georgia public schools, the courses

At Gwinnett County's Archer High School, juniors Nick Spoto (left) and Jordan Leyva pose with one of the chickens, named Bentley, in the AgSTEM program's student-built chicken coop. Spoto and Leyva are two of hundreds of students who have studied the poultry science curriculum developed by UGA's Department of Poultry Science and the Georgia Department of Education. (UGA-CAES/Maria Lameiras)

have been adopted by schools across the country.
Jessica Fife, outreach coordinator for the CAES Department of Poultry Science, worked with Christa Steinkamp, the curriculum and technology director for the Georgia Agricultural Education (GAE) program, and CAES faculty to design a poultry science pathway that includes a new poultry science course and avian science and biotechnology course for the state's public schools. GAE oversees classroom instruction, supervised agricultural experiences and student organization involvement for the Georgia Department of Education.
Expanding agricultural education Starting with the materials devel-
oped for Avian Academy, Steinkamp worked with Fife on a draft of the

Contractor accepted deposit but never did work
Dear Consumer Ed: I paid a $15,000 deposit to have a swimming pool installed. I have receipts and a written contract. The contractor was supposed to start three weeks ago. The permit has not been applied for, and the contractor will not respond to my messages. I have since discovered that he is a repeat fraud contractor. What steps do I need to take to get my money back? Consumer Ed says: Many disputes are better dealt with out of court, but since you cannot get a response from your contractor, formal legal action may be necessary to get your money back. In this case, it may be in your best interest to hire a private attorney to help you through the process. To find an attorney, you may go to the State Bar of Georgia's website (https://www.gabar.org/) and look up attorneys who are accepting new clients some may even offer free consultations.

If you cannot afford an attorney, you may reach out to Georgia Legal Services (https://www. glsp.org/), the Atlanta Legal Aid Society (https://atlantalegalaid.org/), or local law schools to see if their clinics could offer assistance or guidance with your case.
In Georgia, claims for $15,000 or less can be filed in small claims court, also known as Magistrate Court. These claims do not require an attorney. To start the process, you will need to file a complaint or a petition with the clerk of the county court. The county court where you file your complaint should typically be the county in which you believe the person you are suing lives or conducts business. This will require a filing fee.
To learn more about how to find an attorney or file a complaint in magistrate court, visit https://consumer.georgia.gov/resolve-your-dispute/other-options-resolving-your-dispute.
If you decide to file a complaint, it is important to have the last known address and contact information of the person you are suing as the court will attempt to notify the person that you are taking legal action against them. If you do not have the private or business address of the contractor you are suing, you still have some options. You can try looking at property records, social media accounts, or other public records to figure out where the person may reside. The Post Office may have a forwarding address for this person if the last known address is incorrect. Additionally, you may wish to contact known associates of the person.
You can also submit a complaint to the Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division by going to https://consumer.georgia.gov/ or calling 404-651-8600.
Finally, you may consider filing a police report against the contractor for fraud and theft; however, the decision of whether to open the matter for a criminal investigation lies with local law enforcement.
-The Georgia Department of Law answers questions on consumer-related law through Ask Consumer Ed. Submit your own question to Consumer Ed online at https://consum-
ered.georgia.gov/articles/ask-consumer-ed. The Georgia Department of Law does not give
legal advice. Always consult a lawyer about legal issues.

Forestry Matters: Georgia Forestry Commission strengthens regional focus

By Tim Lowrimore
GFC Director
The past 12 months have been a great year filled with growth, change, and forward movement at the Georgia Forestry Commission. We are cultivating new ideas, making improvements, and reaffirming our commitment to providing the highest level of customer service. To that end, as we enter 2024 we are building a platform that modernizes our agency with an improved and unified management structure. The focus is on creating a nimbler, more responsive, and better resourced regional workforce to meet the needs of forest landowners in our state.
As part of our `Moving Forward' modernization plan, the new direction includes naming five regional managers to lead the more efficient and effective service delivery. Please join me in welcoming these outstanding employees to their pivotal new roles: Willie Boston, Region 1, Northwest
Georgia Kris Butler, Region 2, Northeast Georgia Jason Gillis, Region 3, Southwest Georgia Gabe Outlaw, Region 4, Central Georgia Blair Joiner, Region 5, Southeast and
Coastal Georgia Delivering valuable forest protection and management services remains our primary focus for the agency and local offices. In

fiscal year 2023, our agency responded to more than 2,500 wildfires and assisted over 14,000 forest landowners with services such as firebreak installation, prescribed burning, and cost-share plans. As our new organization platform takes root on Jan. 16, we fully anticipate meeting or exceeding the number of Georgians served in the coming year while maintaining our excellent reputation for wildfire readiness (one of the best in the country, I might add). Forest landowners will continue to use their current local contacts for resource information and to schedule services. Find your local GFC office at www.gatrees.org.
Tree planting efforts are in full-speedahead mode this time of year in Georgia. I encourage you to reach out to our reforestation team to understand all the important decisions you need to consider when establishing a new stand of trees from proper species selection to site preparation to the right density of your initial planting. For decades, GFC has annually provided millions of seedlings to thousands of Georgians.
Please find out more about our wide variety of seedling offerings at www.gaseedlings. org.
From all of us at the Georgia Forestry Commission, we wish everyone a happy and healthy 2024! Serving our state this past year has been a pleasure, and we look forward to the opportunity again in the New Year.

Disease Traceability: ADT traces history of livestock during emergency disease response
Continued From Page 1

significant role in agriculture as government officials and industry members contend with animal diseases such as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
In Georgia, agriculture is the state's largest economic sector, with a strong presence of livestock commodities being raised and transported in and out of state to market, for processing, and livestock shows.
Last year, Jason Duggin, a University of Georgia Beef Extension specialist, estimated roughly 400,000 head of livestock travel through Georgia daily. Duggin spoke at a law enforcement training session about responding to highway accidents involving livestock.
Cathers explained most of the ADT tagging occurs on ranches and farms in cooperation with producers. "You will have a producer, and that's part of their business operation. They raise livestock and transport across state lines, so they may need their livestock to be tagged" she said.
Veterinarians play a key role in ADT. Livestock crossing state lines require a movement document such as a certificate of veterinary

inspection (CVI), often referred to as a health certificate. Ear tags can be applied to livestock at the time of an inspection for a CVI or when moving through a livestock market.
The ADT system works with a Premises Identification Number, or PIN, that identifies a physical location where activity affecting the health or traceability of animals may occur. PINs are required for feral hog licenses, livestock shows, and livestock sales. Farms and ranches can also register for a free PIN, according to the GDA Animal Health website.
The tags used for ADT have the animal's unique identification number, which is recorded in a database. Together, the PINs, animal IDs, and movement documents like CVIs are used by Animal Health officials to quickly identify the location and movements of diseased animals to reduce the threat of a disease outbreak.
Cathers said if needed, a disease investigation starts with the animal's official ID ear tag, which can be traced through the state database and matched to locations recorded.
"We can then trace its history. Where did

the animal come from? What other animals may have co-mingled with it?"

Cathers was named the Animal Disease Traceability coordinator for Georgia in 2019 to enhance the program for the benefit of Georgia livestock producers. The state-wide ADT database was established in 2020, and GDA has scored well in USDA's annual performance testing, administered to states and tribal lands to assess readiness to conduct animal disease tracing if needed.
"USDA ADT program staff will send me an official ID ear tag number and from there ask a question like `where did this animal originate?' and `what state is the animal from?' Cathers said. "We've been very successful in completing these performance tests. Usually, we can trace an animal within 15 minutes."

Poultry Science: Partnership of industry, educators deliver avian curriculum to schools

course standards, then created a course-standard writing committee including agricultural education teachers and stakeholders from industry and other institutions, including the CAES Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication (ALEC), University of North Georgia and Athens Technical College, as well as industry representatives including the U.S. Poultry and Egg Association and Tyson Foods.
"The committee came to a consensus that this was a lot of content for one course, so we decided it would be two courses," said Steinkamp, a 1999 CAES agribusiness graduate. "Once those standards were approved through the Georgia Department of Education, Fife developed additional materials for those standards to provide support for teachers who want to incorporate this into their teaching."
Preparing students for future careers
The Georgia Department of Education approved the poultry science course to count as a fourth science option beginning in the 202223 school year. By completing the required

three-class coursework, students will be recognized as completing the Poultry Science pathway in the Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources pathway under the Georgia DOE Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education framework.
"Teachers can use the resources we have created and modify it based on the level of their students, how in-depth they want to go on certain topics, and how much time they have for each topic. Teachers each have their own personality and level of experience, they have different ways they like to teach, and they can create their own lesson plans using the curriculum," Fife said.
As both the poultry science pathway and curriculum were approved for use beginning in fall 2021, the number of schools and teachers adopting the courses is still growing, but Steinkamp sees the curriculum and resources developed with UGA as a significant advantage to increasing knowledge about the poultry industry through Georgia's K-12 schools. According to the Georgia Department of Education, there are 397 agricultural education

programs in middle and high schools around the state, plus 57 agricultural programs in elementary schools.
"Teachers have so much on their plates, if they didn't have those curriculum materials, it would be harder for them to incorporate these lessons," Steinkamp said. "These materials make the courses more adaptable for use in the classrooms both in basic agriculture classes and in the poultry science and avian biology courses."
Cross-country reach
The classes are designed for a high school level, but instructional resources are also available for middle school agriculture teachers, said Fife. In Georgia, nearly 300 students have taken pathway courses in poultry science or avian science and biotechnology between the 2021-2022 school year and the current 2023-2024 school year.
In addition to Georgia, Fife said she knows of schools using the curriculum in California, Michigan, Arkansas, Texas, South Carolina and Delaware.
While word-of-mouth may account for the

reach the curriculum has enjoyed, Fife said Googling "high-school poultry lessons" is just as likely to account for some of the adoption, as UGA's curriculum tops the search results.
"There was not a lot of poultry content out there for educators and a lot that is out there is outdated or has a very clinical content design," Fife said. "All of our resources are also branded to the college and the department, so teachers can call us to set up school visits, farm tours and connections for industry partnerships," she said.
The industry is ready and waiting to kickstart the next generation of poultry scientists, Fife said. If teachers are willing to invest their time and teach the subject, members of the poultry industry are willing to support in whatever way they can.

Georgie's Drive
Thru Dublin
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture! In 1867, the original First African Baptist Church was built in downtown Dublin. During World War II, the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World (IBPOEW) held a statewide speaking competition.
A young fifteen-year-old African American student and his teacher traveled from Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta on a segregated bus to the competition at the Dublin church. His speech was titled "The Negro and the Constitution." Although he won the competition, the young man and his teacher weren't able to celebrate when they were forced to stand in the rear of the bus all the way home that night. That young man grew up to become a well-known preacher and civil rights leader.
A speech he gave on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial 19 years later was a little more famous. But the first public speech given in the young life of Martin Luther King, Jr was in Dublin on April 17, 1944.

UGA Extension Viticulture Team, student internships work to support state's vineyards

By Heather Skyler The University of Georgia

Editor's note: This story was condensed for page

space consideration from UGA Stories, an online publi-

cation of the University of Georgia. Visit https://stories.

uga.edu/ to read the entire story and others about UGA

students, researchers and their impact on the state, na-

tion and world.

The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension

Viticulture Team seeks to help Georgia's growing wine

industry with academic expertise and the university's

Winegrowers of Georgia Internship Program.

Georgia's wine industry has rapidly expanded in re-

cent years. The state generated more than $5 billion in

vineyard-related revenue, according to the National As-

sociation of Wine Growers 2022 Economic Impact Study.

The industry's impact can be felt throughout the state,

helping create and fuel jobs in industries from farming

to banking and manufacturing to advertising.

The Georgia wine industry included nearly 80 pro-

ducers in 2022 and directly employed nearly 21,000

workers, according to the study. It also created approx-

imately 7,500 jobs in supplier and ancillary industries.

The wineries are also a major tourist draw, generating

almost 300,000 visits and more than $84 million in an-

nual tourism expenditures.

This summer, the Extension Viticulture Team wel-

comed Sarah Lowder, who joined the CASE faculty as an

assistant professor and viticulture Extension specialist.

Originally from Charlotte, NC, Lowder received her

undergraduate degree at the University of North Caroli-

na at Chapel Hill and then earned her doctorate in plant

pathology at Oregon State University.

in California and Oregon, Lowder says that UGA students struggle with more diseases, and growers have to navigate

other challenges like late spring frosts," Lowder said. "There is a lot to learn and figure out, so students get
more diverse experiences and issues to deal with. That's always a good learning environment," Lowder added.
In addition to learning about Georgia winemaking, students can participate in UGA's viticulture and enology study away program in Cortona, Italy.
The Winegrowers of Georgia Internship program collaborates with UGA and Georgia wine producer associations. Students apply and interview for paid internships where they study viticulture and enology (the science and study of wine and winemaking) with Georgia winery owners while fulfilling the university's experiential learning requirement.
The internship began in 2007, and each year four CAES students are selected based on an essay and an interview process. Each intern receives hourly compensation from their host vineyard and a $1,500 stipend from CAES.
Once placed at a winery, students dive into cultivating and thinning grapevines during the summer. They learn to harvest, crush, and ferment the grapes in the fall. Experiences change based on the operation, but many interns gain experience in vineyard pest and disease control and barrel aging, bottling, and marketing.
This year, Autumn Girardin worked at Engleheim Vineyards in Ellijay. As an agribusiness and horticulture major, she plans to open a botanical business with an accompanying small vineyard.
"Having the vineyard surrounded by the gardens could have subtle influences on the terroir [the combination of soil and climate that give wines their unique flavor] and development of the grapes, which could produce wines with more complexity," she explains.
Girardin has always wanted to own her own business, and she was fairly certain she wanted it to be related to agriculture. During the coronavirus pandemic, she noticed that vineyards, as businesses, remained relatively stable despite the upheaval caused by the virus. "And the more I learned about viticulture, the more I fell in love with every aspect of it," she said.

Equine Workshops: Courses offer variety of topics for horse owners

to sit in on a webinar, so we created the Equine Exchange Lunch and Learn," Stewart said. "It goes from about 12 p.m. to 12:45 p.m."
In the past, participants picked what they wanted to discuss from month to month. Stewart explained this year, the Equine Exchange will have a set curriculum covering equine behavior and training topics.
February's topic will be Horse Perception and Senses, followed by Types of Equine Behavior in March. The Lunch and Learn series will also include discussions on problem behavior resolution, assessing equine welfare, and other topics through December, including a round table discussion and expert Q&A session.
The Equine Exchange Lunch and Learn series installments will be at noon on the first Monday of each month. The next installment will be on Feb. 8.
Stewart said both series will be open to anybody, but the Horse Owner's webinar will focus on nutrition and feeding. Stewart said participants will be provided a workbook based on the course before the series begins.
"(The workbook) covers the introductory level material because when we're talking about applied nutrition, not that it won't be accessible to some, but having some foundation on understanding how the equine digestive track works and things like that becomes a bit more important," Stewart said. "It's still

something I would say everybody will find value in, but we are going to provide some resources ahead of time to make sure everybody has the opportunity to have the same base knowledge."
Horses are popular in Georgia, from raising thoroughbreds to weekend enthusiasts. Equine operations - raising, boarding, training and breeding make up 12.7 percent of Georgia's agricultural livestock and aquaculture sector, behind beef cattle and dairy, according to the 2023 UGA Ag Forecast.
Stewart said equine activity covers the state, and she sees interest growing. "We have a lot of horses in Georgia, more than folks realize. We have some pockets where we have a lot of competition and a lot of high-dollar performance horses, but most of my programming focuses on horse owners who like to learn," she said.
Stewart estimated there are 40,000 to 60,000 horses in Georgia, with about two-thirds used for recreation.
For more information and to register for either series, visit the UGA Extension Service website. Information on the six-week Horse Owner's Webinar on applied equine feeding and nutrition is available here: https://bit.ly/3MZ1E3q. Information on the monthly Equine Exchange Lunch and Learn series is available here: https://bit.ly/4avg5WS.
You can also reach Stewart at her office in Lincolnton at 706.359.3233 or email rlstew2@uga.edu.

The UGA Horse Owner's Webinar Series is a six-week course on applied equine feeding and nutrition. The series will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. weekly each Tuesday from Jan. 16 to Feb. 13. Topics covered in the webinar include: Digestive Anatomy and Physiology Pasture Nutrition Feed and Supplements Essential Nutrients Nutrition of Hay and Forage Alternatives Interpreting Feed Tags
The Equine Exchange is a monthly webinar that provides practical equine management information for horse owners. The program is at noon, via Zoom, and is free. It is held the first Monday of each month through December, except for holidays. Upcoming installments include: Feb. 5: Horse Perception and Senses March 4: Types of Equine Behaviors April 1: How Horses Learn May 6: Assessing Equine Welfare June 3: Ethical Horse Training July 1: Operant Conditioning
