Make Your Wisconsin On-Farm Experience a Safe and Healthy One
|
Are you visiting a Wisconsin Dairy Farm? Wisconsin Dairy Producers are proud to invite their urban friends
and neighbors to their farms to experience today's dairy business. Producers want to make sure that these
farm tours result in a safe and healthy experience for everyone. And they are just as concerned about the
health and safety of their farm animals and the land around them.

-
Be sure to wear clean shoes. If you have visited other farms earlier in the day, change shoes or
wear disposable plastic boots that can be discarded after your visit. Dirty shoes can spread germs and
bacteria that are harmful to dairy animals.
-
The USDA advises that no one visit any U.S. livestock facility for at least five days after visting
farms in other countries with contagious animal infections such as foot-and-mouth disease.
-
Pay close attention to all signage regarding biosafety and biosecurity that your host farm may have posted.
-
Be sure to thoroughly wash your hands before you eat (especially important for children) using
soap, running water and disposable towels. Bring antiseptic towelettes or antibacterial handwash
in case wash stations are not readily available.
