1. Footbath - we use a farm’s footbath, or our own, to clean our boots when we arrive on-farm and before we leave.
2. Entry/exit sign – we enter your shed/facilities through a signed entry point.
It’s important farms have a signed
entry/exit point so all visitors enter the same way and have a safe walking
path through your shed/facilities.
3. Gloves - our gloves cover the shoulder and upper chest area and are worn by AB techs while they’re inseminating cows so they have minimal exposure to the animal.
4. Plastic sheaths - the inseminator is covered by a single-use disposable sheath so it doesn’t touch the cow. The sheaths are changed between every animal.
5. Isopropyl
wipes - the inseminator is also wiped down with an isopropyl wipe between
farms.
