Note on biosecurity at the North American Manure Expo

We are aware of cases on H5N1, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in some domestic poultry flocks in Pennsylvania. We are currently monitoring the risk of HPAI as it relates to the North American Manure Expo (NAME).

We are doing our part to ensure that you and your operations stay safe. We are taking the following measures at the Expo:
  • Supplying disposable biosecurity booties and disinfection spray on-site;
  • Not entering any poultry facilities or visiting any previously populated poultry facilities; and
  • Not using any poultry manure or compost on-site.
A note on our location:
  • Although the land where NAME will be held is owned by Lesher’s Poultry, their animal operations are several miles from the host site; and
  • No poultry manure has been applied to the field site for more than one year.
We look forward to offering you a safe and enjoyable experience at the North American Manure Expo.
