A note on Avian Influenza: Instructions for Visiting Farms with Livestock
A note on Avian Influenza: Instructions for Visiting Farms with Livestock
Many of farms that host Field Days raise a variety of livestock. Best practices to avoid cross-contamination are particularly important now due to the high prevalence of Bird Flu, or Avian Influenza (H5N1).
To reduce the risk of cross-contamination and spread of disease, we ask that all attendees:
Wear shoes or boots that have not been worn on other farms with livestock or livestock buildings, or around a dense population of wild birds.
Wear clean clothes that have not been worn around other livestock.
You may be asked to clean and disinfect shoes or boots in a phenol or similar solution or we'll provide you with plastic shoe covers to wear for the duration of the field day.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
