Program guides first responders on farm animal handling
Ohio Farm Bureau is teaming up with Ohio State University to help law enforcement, local humane officers, wildlife officers, firefighters, animal control officers and other first responders gain a basic understanding of farm animal behavior and handling so they can be better prepared for incidents involving livestock.
The Animal Agriculture 202 course was made possible by a grant from the Animals for Life Foundation. Participants can expect to learn about the following: Basic farm animal behavior and handling, personal safety issues, roadway accidents involving farm animals, field euthanasia methods, tranquilization of at-large animals and pre-planning for a livestock incident.
The daylong seminar will be held April 12 at the Fawcett Center in Columbus. The $25 registration fee includes lunch. Space is limited and the registration deadline is March 30.
