Biosecurity Practices for Specialized Agritourism, Organic, and Artisan Production Dairy Operations.

Abstract

Farms that engage in agritourism and provide niche products such as raw milk directly to consumers may request a biosecurity plan from the animal health advisors. Veterinarians who have relationships with these operations should be familiar with the state and federal requirements and pathogens of interest that may be present in raw milk and products processed from raw milk. Biosecurity plans involve an understanding of risk and specific farm goals.
