Ranch Biosecurity

摘要

Weaning time is a good time to think about biosecurity; developing a plan isn't as difficult as it seems. Consider the term "biosecurity" and what do you think of? People running around in hazmat suits conducting chemical warfare on some dreaded disease? In its most extreme, that is bios-ecurity. The reality, however, is that implementing a biosecurity plan for your ranch isn't difficult. Biosecurity describes any management program designed to prevent or minimize disease, or prevent and control pathogens harmful to the health and welfare of your herd, says Bob Sager, veterinarian at the University of Missouri's (MU) Clydesdale Teaching Hospital.
