Poultry farms park their own vehicles on the farm to stop the operation and then apply quicklime, clean and sanitize the farm yard and inside the barn, and sanitize equipment, clothing and products on the farm at once .
Livestock facilities should carry out cleaning and disinfection of the entire workplace after moving livestock vehicles to a slaughterhouse or feed mill and, in particular, connect GPS terminals of livestock vehicles and maintain their normal operation.
