Abstract

Alberta Agriculture Food and Rural Development (AAFRD) is developing an electronic surveillance network to collect cattle health information from practicing veterinarians in Alberta. The network will provide cattle health information specific to the surveillance needs of the provincial cattle industry, including rapid detection of emerging and foreign animal diseases, demonstrating the presence of a well-trained effective veterinary service, and establishing freedom from diseases of importance to trade. A second goal is to provide livestock health information of value to practicing veterinanans.
