Ensure everyone on the farm is aware of biosecurity requirements
The biosecurity plan can only work if EVERYONE on the site follows it ALL of the time, which requires training.
Encourage caretakers to watch the three training videos below, which can be completed in just 30 minutes, or download the corresponding PowerPoints to use in your employee training program.
Educational Videos

Caretakers should review the portions of the biosecurity plan applicable to their job duties, and may reference the applicable handouts as necessary.
