How Country View Family Farms Set the Stage for Success
Expecting the unexpected helped the team overcome challenges.
Country View Family Farms followed several best practices to support the success of its elimination program and increase the likelihood that herds will test negative for Mhp in the future.
Establishing a partnership with Zoetis played a critical role in overcoming previous program failures.
In addition, planning ahead was a significant part of the program’s success. The team gained buy-in by communicating with teams to raise awareness, ensuring that everyone involved—including at the farm level—had time to share input and ask questions.
The team also planned for scenarios in which results did not return what was expected, establishing the flexibility and resources needed to shift the approach in the event of a surprise.
“Have a good understanding of what your status is from the beginning … a clear goal for the end, and how you plan to get there.”
