Biosecurity Resources for Youth Exhibitors

July 15, 2020 — 

The National Pork Board has added new and updated biosecurity resources for youth exhibitors to their website. New resources, including an updated biosecurity guide, posters and handouts, flyers, a complete toolkit, and video address biosecurity to promote both animal and human health. Resources are available for download at https://www.pork.org/blog/biosecurity-youth-exhibitors/.

The many layers of biosecurity can be overwhelming. While education and training are essential, protocols must be executed properly and consistently. To build a biosecurity culture on the farm, everyone on the farm must understand why certain procedures matter and the potential fallout if they aren't followed. Use these tools to help youth learn more about the importance of and how to practice good biosecurity.
