Infection control and disease prevention between animals or to people requires awareness of how exposure happens, biosecurity steps to stop spread, using disinfectants appropriately, and communicating through signs ways to protect themselves.
Disease Exposure Routes
Disease causing agents can be spread from animal-to-animal and between animals and humans through a variety of transmission routes.
Farm Biosecurity
Farm biosecurity is important to keep animals healthy. Small steps can prevent diseases in livestock, poultry and people.
Disinfection
Disinfection, when done correctly, can reduce disease-causing organisms and is an important part of any biosecurity plan.
Foreign Animal Diseases
Foreign animal diseases (FADs) must be recognized and reported quickly to prevent widespread outbreaks in livestock and poultry.
Zoonotic Disease Prevention
Resources for animal owners to prevent the transmission of zoonotic diseases.
Organic Animal Health
Information for non-conventional livestock and poultry farmers and ranchers and those who support them.
Signs and Visitor Information
Signs serve to notify visitors and raise their awareness regarding biological risk management practices and on farm policies.
