Farm Health Guardian has launched the Protocol® Farm Visits app, a powerful new tool designed to make on-farm biosecurity faster, easier, and more consistent for farm workers and operations of all sizes.
The Protocol Farm Visits app streamlines biosecurity by providing instant access to key property information, visit records, health status, downtime, pyramid, and other biosecurity requirements. The app makes it easy for farm workers to know and follow biosecurity requirements for any property within their system by automatically confirming whether a user meets biosecurity requirements based on their previously recorded visits.
“Biosecurity compliance is critical, but it shouldn’t be complicated,” says Rob Hannam, CEO of Farm Health Guardian. “The Protocol Farm Visits app was built to take the guesswork out of meeting downtime and other biosecurity requirements, saving time and reducing the risk of disease transmission.”
The Protocol Farm Visits app simplifies managing people movements according to health status and other requirements, which experts agree is critical when it comes to protecting animal health and preventing disease spread. Dr. Tara Prezioso, DVM, MPH, University of Illinois Department of Pathobiology, says that “Monitoring human movement is just as or more important than monitoring animal movement alone.”
A key feature of the new app is a link to Google maps for any farm property within a system, making it easier to navigate directly to a farm location. The app also includes pertinent property information such as key contacts.
The new app replaces the original Farm Health Guardian app and is ideal for farms that are committed to enhancing their biosecurity practices. “We’re excited to give farm teams a tool that supports safer, smarter farm visits every day,” says Hannam, explaining that by putting essential, real-time biosecurity information in the hands of employees, the app helps farms reduce biosecurity breaches, improve compliance and streamline daily operations.
