Enhanced Biosecurity
Creating and implementing enhanced biosecurity plans will help prevent animals from being exposed to FMD, CSF, or ASF during an outbreak. Be prepared to share your plan with State Animal Health Officials prior to an outbreak (if requested).
Prepare! Learn what is needed then gather the team of people and materials.
Write! Create a site-specific enhanced biosecurity plan.
Practice and Train! Implement as much of your enhanced biosecurity plan as possible prior to an outbreak.
