Clearly communicate the farm’s biosecurity policy to all high-risk visitors, staff
and contractors.
Ensure that equipment brought into direct contact with livestock is cleaned
and disinfected before and after use.
Consider providing high-risk personnel with protective clothing and boots to use
and leave on farm.
Ask contractors to give written declarations specifying what cleansing
and disinfection will take place before they enter your farm.
Are there any best practices you could adopt?
All contractor vehicles and trailers accessing
livestock areas should be clean and free of
visible manure on the outside of the vehicle,
wheels, mudguards and wheel arches.
Ask all high-risk visitors to arrive wearing clean
protective clothing and boots. And to ensure
all equipment is disinfected.
