Biosecurity Workshops

Iowa State University has designed a trailer to aid in conducting in-class training and trailer demonstrations for all ages and audience education levels. Every workshop includes an educational presentation on the importance of biosecurity, followed by live demonstration with the trailer. An interactive Glo Germ^TM exercise is conducted with all audiences. The trailer also demonstrates the bench entry process, showering in, security, and much more.
