What is the best way for farmers to protect their stock?
• The best way for farmers to protect their stock and minimise further spread of the disease (particularly in an infected area) is by strict control of all movement (animals, people, vehicles and any materials) onto and off the farm, combined with rigorous disinfection. When moving items or people ONTO the farm, assume that the world outside is “infected” and the farm is “clean”. When moving items or people OFF the farm, assume that the farm is “infected” and the world outside is “clean”.
