EthoGuard President Mark Beaven Proudly introduces the Biosecurity Boot Bench

A Danish Entry is a Great Biosecurity Tool.

As concerns about animal diseases and biosecurity continue to rise, it’s becoming increasingly important for farmers to take proactive measures to prevent the spread of diseases on their farms. One such measure is the use of a Danish Entry System, which is an effective tool for minimizing the risk of disease transmission.

In a Danish Entry System, the entry and exit points of the farm are separated into different zones, with strict protocols in place for movement between them. This system is designed to prevent the entry of potentially infected animals or people into the farm’s main production areas, thereby reducing the risk of disease transmission.

There are several reasons why a Danish entry system is good for biosecurity on a farm:

Video: Heat Stress in Pigs: What to Prepare for Before Next Summer - Dr. Joshua Selsby

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Joshua Selsby from Iowa State University explains how heat stress affects swine biology and why now is the ideal time to prepare for next summer’s challenges. He breaks down its effects on muscle function, immune responses, and long-term metabolic outcomes. Learn how early planning can protect herd performance when temperatures rise again. Listen now on all major platforms! "Heat stress leads to a cascade of biological damage, beginning with metabolic disruption and expanding across multiple organ systems." Meet the guest: Dr. Joshua Selsby is a Professor in the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University. With over 15 years of research on skeletal muscle physiology and heat stress, he focuses on understanding how thermal stress disrupts swine metabolism, immune function, and muscle integrity.
