NASHVILLE — As fair and show season approaches, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) Animal Health Division launched the “Know Before You Show” campaign to remind livestock exhibitors, families and fair and exposition managers that simple biosecurity steps can prevent the spread of disease and protect Tennessee’s livestock industry.

“Everyone involved in Tennessee’s livestock and animal agriculture has a role in keeping diseases from spreading,” State Veterinarian Samantha Beaty said. “Healthy animals make for a successful show experience, and early action protects not only the exhibitor’s animal but others at the event and our broader agricultural community.”
