Cattle Intel Biosecurity Quarantine Practices for New Animals

Hey folks, welcome to Cattle Intel by Neogen! I'm Dr. Dan Thomson, and today we're discussing a crucial biosecurity practice: the introduction of new animals to your herd.
Key Points:
1. Quarantine New Animals:
If you have a closed herd and plan to introduce new animals, quarantine them for at least 30 days.
This isolation period allows most disease processes to clear, ensuring the health of your existing
herd.
2. Use of Diagnostics:
To expedite the quarantine process, consider using diagnostic tests for diseases like BVD (Bovine
Viral Diarrhea).
Early diagnostics can help make herd introductions faster and safer.
Why It Matters:
Quarantining new animals is a vital biosecurity measure to prevent the introduction and spread of
diseases within your herd.
