The questions in this biosecurity risk assessment are grouped by the three main ways diseases could be introduced to a farm—through animal additions, visitors, or wildlife.  Circle the letter corresponding to your answer for each question.  Your responses are between you and whomever you would like to go over the assessment with you.

If none of the options exactly describe your management practices, please choose the one that is closest or mark the question as not applicable.

Take this opportunity to think about your management practices and ways to reduce the risk of introducing (or reintroducing) diseases to your livestock.  If you circled any letters in the first column (I), look back over these answers.  The practices described are considered highly risky in terms of their potential to allow diseases to enter or spread.  What steps can you take to move towards the lower risk practices listed in the last column (III)?  Use the Farm Assessment/Risk Management Plan Worksheet to facilitate the process of developing a plan.
