Shower in/shower out and use the bench entry system. Wear farm clothing.

Non-shower farms should supply farm-specific boots, coveralls and hand sanitizers.

Wear separate inside and outside boots and coveralls if barns aren’t connected or if you need to go outside.

Use separate indoor and outdoor equipment to move deads and avoid contact of inside equipment with the outside.

Compost or incinerate deads rather than rendering.

 If rendering, treat dead box as a highly contaminated area. Take deads out at the end of the day; don’t reenter the barn. Maintain a clean and dirty side of the box.

 Maintain the whole site all-in, all-out if the site is positive for TGE, PRRS, brachyspira, etc.

Clean the entire site including the office, chutes, alleyways, hallways and any equipment or tools that have contact with pigs.

Evaluate truck washes to make sure that trucks are being cleaned properly.

Wash, disinfect and dry or bake market trailers, which have been found to routinely harbor TGE and other pathogens at animal concentration points. Trailers should be clean and dry upon arrival at pig sites.

Use dedicated trucks designated by health status and pig age.

Clean up feed spills immediately. Keep bait stations baited and deads removed to minimize birds, dogs, cats, wildlife and rodent activity on the site.

Work from clean to dirty farm sites.
