  • DAILY BIOSECURITY PLAN

    FOR DISEASE PREVENTION

  • BQA DAILY BIOSECURITY PLAN FOR DISEASE PREVENTION2

    This document is a template to assist cattle operations in development of a daily biosecurity plan for their premises. Concepts are based on emphasized biosecurity content in the Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) National Manual and were developed using guidance from Secure Beef Supply (SBS) Information Manual for Enhanced Biosecurity for FMD Prevention: Beef Feedlots and Cattle on Pasture. All documents are accessible at www.bqa.org.

    The Biosecurity Manager should evaluate all sections and check the box for all items that apply to the operation. Customize sections by filling in the blank boxes with operation-specific information and selecting the applicable option(s). Where applicable, examples to consider for filling in the blank boxes are included in parentheses - (EXAMPLE). Unchecked statements could be used as steps toward continuous improvement if applicable to the operation. Including a labeled premises map as part of this plan is recommended; see the last page for guidance and an example. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) may also be needed and should be available on the operation, but do not need to be included in this written biosecurity plan.

    ☐ Know who to report to if they see someone not complying or something preventing compliance; and

    ☐ Recognize the consequences for not complying with biosecurity protocols.

    3. PROTECTING YOUR CATTLEThis operation has plans in place to limit disease exposure on a daily basis. Refer to this operation’s “Enhanced Biosecurity Plan” for more details about the line of separation, limiting access, and establishing a cleaning and disinfection station during a highly contagious foreign animal disease outbreak.

    LINE OF SEPARATION (LOS)

    A Line of Separation (LOS) is a clearly identified boundary around or within the premises that separates on-farm traffic from off-farm traffic with the goal of preventing disease agents entering on vehicles, equipment, people, etc.

    Describe where the LOS on this operation is located (BORDERS OF PROPERTY, TYPES OF BORDERS/BARRIERS, DISTANCE TO ADJACENT BUILDINGS/PASTURES, ETC.) and how it is marked on-site (FENCES, COUNTY ROAD, CREEKS, ETC.):

    Label the LOS on the premises map at the end of this plan.

    LOS ACCESS POINT(S)

    There are points of access to the operation. The Access Points are clearly marked with a barrier of NUMBER to restrict entry. LOS Access Point(s) are each labeled on the premises map at the end of this plan.FENCE, GATE, ETC.

    Signs written in languages are posted at major LOS access points that include ENGLISH, SPANISH, ETC. (BIOSECURITY MANAGER’S PHONE NUMBER; BIOSECURITY PROTOCOLS FOR ENTERING; WHERE TO FIND BIOSECURITY PROTOCOLS FOR ENTERING, ETC.):

    All movements (animals, vehicles, equipment, people) authorized to move across the LOS are recorded and these

    documents are kept in the and available for review upon request. Examples of OFFICE, BARN, ETC.

    movement logs for animal, people, and vehicles/equipment/deliveries can be found on the Secure Beef Supply websites. People and items crossing through the LOS Access Points follow appropriate specific biosecurity steps, described under Biosecure Entry Procedure (under Section 5) in this plan.

    DESIGNATED PARKING AREA

    Vehicles not essential to the operation are parked in the designated parking area which is located:

    , labeled on the premises map at the WHERE

    end of this plan, and marked . This area is outside the LOS and away from animal areas. WITH SIGNS, ETC.

    DISTANCE BETWEEN LIVESTOCK ON ADJACENT PREMISES

    Describe the approximate distance between livestock on adjacent premises (BORDERS OF PROPERTY, TYPES OF BORDERS/BARRIERS, DISTANCE TO ADJACENT BUILDINGS/PASTURES, ETC.):

    Steps have been coordinated with owner/operators of these premises to limit disease exposure. These steps include:

    GRAZING PUBLIC LANDS

    ☐ This operation does not access or use public lands for grazing. OR

    Our cattle graze public lands . We part of a grazing LIST MONTHS OF THE YEAR ARE/ARE NOT

    association. Cattle are moved to the public lands using (check all that apply):

    ☐ Common use roads

    ☐ Common use corrals/trailheads

    ☐ Common use trail systems

    We recognize shared lands can pose exposure risks from other livestock, wildlife, and people accessing public lands during a highly contagious foreign animal disease outbreak. We have worked with our State Animal Health Official and livestock association to develop proposals for livestock separation and movement strategies on public land allotments. This is described in our “Enhanced Biosecurity Plan”.

    contagious foreign animal disease outbreak.

    We have evaluated movement on and off the premises. This includes evaluating the frequency and travel paths which was used to determine LOS placement and to limit disease exposure. Please refer to the Inputs/Outputs template and to the Vehicle Entry Log for the vehicle, equipment, and delivery entry logbook template.

    CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

    Cleaning and disinfection – also referred to as C&D – is a key part of biosecurity. C&D reduces or kills germs that can spread disease to your animals.

    This operation’s C&D protocol includes the following:

    ☐ Thoroughly cleaning and washing objects first to remove any visible debris (manure, dirt, bedding) before applying disinfectant.

    ☐ Disinfectants are used according to the product label which includes directions for correct mixing, concentration, rinsing, storage, etc. These disinfectants are used: .

    NAME OF PRODUCTS ☐ Disinfectants are allowed proper contact time to “sit” and work according to the label instructions.

    During C&D, these safety measures are followed:

    ☐ All product labels are carefully read.

    ☐ Recommended protective gear is worn.

    ☐ Run-off into animal areas, drinking water, waterways, and other protected areas is avoided.

    6. ANIMAL MOVEMENT

    Refer to this operation’s “Enhanced Biosecurity Plan” for a pre-movement isolation period, contingency plan for interrupted animal movement in the event animal movement is stopped for weeks, and protocols for animal loading/unloading during a highly contagious foreign animal disease outbreak.

    INDIVIDUAL ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION

    Having a consistent animal identification system on your operation is important for tracking animal performance characteristics and record keeping to prevent violative drug residues and understand animal movement on and off farm. In addition, animal identification may be required for animal movement interstate. National disease testing does require an official form of identification. It is integral to a disease outbreak where infected animals can be traced to determine animals and properties at risk.

    This operation uses the following techniques for individual animal identification (check all that apply):

    ☐ Ear tag

    ☐ Official ear tag with printed U.S. shield (e.g., silver tags, electronic radiofrequency tags (RFID), orange metal or RFID Bangs vaccination tags)

    ☐ Official tattoo issued by recognized breed association

    ☐ Brand issued by brand inspection agency

    ☐ Ear notch

    ☐ None

    RECORDS OF ANIMAL MOVEMENT

    During a highly contagious foreign animal disease outbreak, producers may be asked by Regulatory Officials to provide accurate trace-back/forward information to identify potential disease exposure. Daily record keeping can speed up the process of finding potential contacts with infected herds in an outbreak which can speed up the chance to receive a movement permit for operations with no evidence of infection. Records should be kept for all within operation movements (i.e., moving from calving pasture to mountain grazing or bulls being moved between pastures), incoming animals, and animals leaving the operation (i.e., for sale, slaughter, euthanasia).

    Examples of movement logs for animal, people, and vehicles/equipment/deliveries can be found on the Movement Records webpage.

    INCOMING ANIMALS

    BQA recommends that replacement cattle or new additions should be separated from other cattle for at least a 21-30 day quarantine period. Select all that apply.

    ☐ All incoming animals are unloaded and visually inspected during daylight hours, when possible. Isolation is maintained until inspection is completed. If cattle are unloaded at night they are maintained in the receiving area and inspected the following morning.

    ☐ New animals arriving at the operation are separated from all other livestock with separate feeding/watering equipment during the quarantine period. They are handled last or by dedicated personnel to avoid spread of infectious diseases.

    ☐ Calves brought to the operation from outside sources (i.e., sale barns, dairies, other cattle operations) as substitute or graft calves can introduce diseases such as bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) or Johne’s disease to the operation. In addition to being held in separate facilities with its grafted dam as recommended previously, the calf should be tested for common diseases prior to being introduced to the herd. Consult with your herd veterinarian to determine which diseases are concerning in your region and should be screened for in new herd additions.

    ☐ For stocker and feeder cattle, cattle are checked at least daily for illness, lameness, or other problems during the first 30 days following arrival.

    ☐ This operation retains its own cattle for replacements with no new additions or replacement cattle (including breeding animals) procured from external sources.
