Biosecurity Resources for Producers

Implementing enhanced biosecurity plans will help prevent exposing animals to foot and mouth disease (FMD), classical swine fever (CSF), and African swine fever (ASF). Be prepared to share your plan with State Animal Health Officials prior to an outbreak (if requested).

Write a site-specific enhanced biosecurity plan!

Work with your herd veterinarian and use the resources below to get started. If you raise animals indoors only, use the resources for Indoor Production. If you raise animals with outdoor access or have a combination of animals raised indoors and animals with outdoor access, utilize the Biosecurity Plan Template for Outdoor Production.

Already have a biosecurity plan?

Compare it to the checklist below and make sure all the items are included in your plan. If not, enhance your biosecurity plan.

Are caretakers trained in biosecurity?

Encourage caretakers to watch the videos available under Biosecurity Training Materials.
