This booklet will focus on basic disease prevention protocols and practices that will strengthen your animal wellness program. We will address the primary areas of sanitation and hygiene within the pre-weaned calf raising areas. We will also provide practices that have been successfully implemented on individual dairies that may be of benefit to a wider range of applications. While no two dairy facilities are built or managed in the same way, it should be helpful to develop a “best practices” approach to improved hygiene procedures within the biosecurity process.
