Farm Personnel (Employees, Family, Visitors) Biosecurity Tips

Limit the people who enter your farm/ranch to those with clean clothing, clean footwear, and clean hands. Clothing, footwear and hands can pick up animal disease germs when they are off-farm. These practices can also protect people from zoonotic diseases that animals can spread to people.
