Case: Infection Protection

Can You Handle a Day with Full Responsibility for the Herd?
In this short, interactive case, you take centre stage in the daily operations of a farm with a farrowing unit, nursery unit, and finishing unit.

What will you gain from this case?
You will practise making decisions related to biosecurity, animal health, and animal welfare. You will experience the consequences of your choices and see how your actions can play a crucial role in preventing the introduction and spread of disease, including serious threats such as African swine fever. The case makes biosecurity rules and responsibilities practical, relevant, and easy to remember.

How the case works
You will complete five tasks throughout the day. Each correct action earns you one star. Your goal is to achieve five stars and maintain a healthy herd.

What you will learn:

• Practise correct biosecurity behaviour in everyday farm situations
• Understand your responsibilities across all production units
• Learn how to prevent disease transmission into and out of the herd
• See how diseases can spread when biosecurity procedures are not followed
• Strengthen your practical knowledge through realistic decision-making
