Boot Dips Dairy Insight

Biosecurity remains one of the most cost-effective tools available to dairy farmers, yet it is still one of the least consistently applied. While considerable effort goes into vaccination, nutrition and herd health planning, the everyday movement of people between animals continues to present a major and often underestimated disease risk. Despite most farms having biosecurity protocols in place, only around a third report they are followed consistently; highlighting a clear gap between intention and practice.

This Dairy Insight focuses on the best practice use of boot dips for effective biosecurity for animal health and business resilience.
