Biosecurity
So how do we do this?
To protect our animals, we use a number of practices to limit the possibility of spreading pathogens into the areas where they live.
-
Washing/sanitizing hands before and after going into the space where the animals are housed
-
Restricting access to the area where animals are located to only essential people
-
Quarantining new animals to make sure that they aren’t carrying any diseases
-
Wearing disinfected rubber boots or shoe covers
-
Wearing coveralls over our clothing
-
Disinfecting/sanitizing objects that may have been on other farms
