  1. Biosecurity GA Ag Ed Curriculum Development Committee May 2007

  2. Biosecurity • keeping animals free from widespread disease and ensuring safe food supply.

  3. Practice • Set aside certain clothes and boots for your farm only. Don’t wear those boots to other farms and then back to your farm. • Don’t wear clothing or boots to the farm that you wear to school or to the feed store. • Make visitors wear plastic boots or keep extra farm boots on hand for visitors. • Breeder sites should not allow visitors without contract grower permission. Breeder sites should require visitors to shower in and wear farm clothing before visiting the animals.

  4. Look • Watch for signs of disease or unexpected deaths. • Listen for dangers of illness in your community. • Communicate with other farmers and stay updated on current events

  5. Report Don’t wait! Early detection can make a difference. If your animals are sick or dying, call USDA's Veterinary Services toll free at 1-866-536-7593, or your State Veterinarian or local agriculture education teacher to find out why.
