1 AgConnect in Colorado 1 picture is worth a 1000 MBs of Data. Colorado Department of Agriculture Animal Health Division Here s what the system looks like 1

2 AgConnect = A way to visualize your data and overlay it with other external data This is not a how to guide to use AgConnect Instead we will give examples of how we have used AgConnect in livestock emergency management, traceability, and regulatory disease control Important Criteria to make AgConnect a Successful Tool 1. Know USAHERDS or your database, how data is categorized 2. Think through how data will map out in AgConnect understand what data AgConnect can pull from your database 3. Think through what is the most logical way to enter data into HERDS / your database so that it can be mapped out 4. Staff resources having someone who knows HERDS / your database and can learn new technology 2

3 How has Colorado used AgConnect? Agriculture Incident Response Wildfires, Toxic Spill Livestock Disease Response Vesicular Stomatitis Trainings Use in building incident response Livestock Emergency Preparedness Planning Gold King Mine Incident Animas River 2015: Toxic heavy metal contaminated water released into the river from the Gold King Mine Needed to map all livestock premises within 2 miles on both sides of the river Created a polygon shape around the river in AgConnect Created a filter that showed only the premises within that geo-shape created 3

4 Magically, we turned the river blue again! 4

5 Vesicular Stomatitis 2015 AgConnect can take data from a 27 column X 550 row spreadsheet and convert it into a picture-map that has new usefulness r quarantine release (purple) These maps were provided to our Western Dairy Association to help them educate their dairy producers Helped to stress the importance of VSV and have dairy farms increase their vector control on dairy farms close to quarantined locations Vesicular Stomatitis 2015 Needed to map all premises by status: 1. Hold (yellow) 2. Quarantine(red) 3. Quarantine release (purple) These maps were provided to our Western Dairy Association to help them educate their dairy producers Helped to stress the importance of VSV and have dairy farms increase their vector control on dairy farms close to quarantined locations Also used when we were exporting horses to states like, that required that no horses were coming from within 10 miles of VSV quarantined premises in a given time framer quarantine release (purple) Thapern Dairy Association to help them educate their dairy producers Helped to stress the importance of VSV and have dairy farms increase their vector control on dairy farms close to quarantined locations 5

8 Wildfires in Livestock Areas cause livestock losses and access issues for ranchers 1. Incident Management Team wants to protect safety of public and property 2. Livestock are often forgotten or IMT does not know where they are located 3. Easy to forget about the ranchers needing access to care for cattle ( shelter in place ) and access to move cattle that need to be evacuated thus ranchers lose access to the property and roads 4. Ranchers and farmers are assets to the IMT as they know the premises, people, and the problems Where is the fire? 8

9 Where are the livestock premises in relationship to the fire? Where are the trouble spots? 9

10 Zooming in HPAI Potential Case Needed to map all premises within a 10k circle around a suspect premises We decided to use roads and natural boundaries for the circle Filtered for all the premises within that area 10

11 Control Zone within Geo-political boundaries like roads, county borders and natural boundaries. Poultry Industry Biosecurity Training and Assessments Needed to map all premises on the western slope to show close vicinity and what a 10k circle would include Filtered for all the commercial poultry premises In biosecurity on-farm assessment interviews able to show control zones if their premises were the center of a control zone 11
