Consumer Resources Highlight Redesigned Beef Website

Digital communication is a key tool in the South Dakota Beef Industry Council's (SDBIC) consumer education and outreach efforts. It's also vital to the SDBIC's work with the state's beef producers and industry partners. Now, the SDBIC has a redesigned website which offers easy access for all, to all things beef.   
 
"We're thrilled to have this resource now available for our consumers and producers," said Amanda Bacon, Director of Communications. "This has been a long-time coming. The website is now a dynamic, mobile-responsive platform you can view from any PC or mobile device. That means whether you're looking for recipe ingredients in the grocery store, or you're a producer looking to see more about how your checkoff is utilized, the information you need is readily available with just a click."
 
The recipe section is one of the site's primary features, showcasing recipes which change to coincide with the seasons, SDBIC programs, and promotions. This section also features a variety of cooking videos from Holly Swee, RD, LN, Director of Nutrition, and a wealth of beef nutrition information.

Video: Breaking Biosecurity: The First U.S. Case of H5N1 in Pigs and What It Means for Producers

Dr. Gisele Ravagnani provides insights into the recent detection of H5N1 in an Oregon pig, marking the first U.S. case in swine. H5N1, a highly pathogenic avian influenza, primarily affects birds but has now crossed into swine. This development raises concerns for both swine and poultry producers due to potential interspecies transmission. Producers are advised to enhance biosecurity measures, such as controlling farm access and monitoring animal health. While the risk to human health remains low, it's crucial to protect workers through proper hygiene and protective equipment. Producers should watch for symptoms like respiratory distress in their herds and consult veterinarians promptly if infections are suspected.
