In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of lifestyle changes were enforces to curb the spread of the virus.
The most important is the lock down restrictions which reduced movements within and outside states, countries and this affected farm visits.
These restrictions is also accompanied with social distancing, wearing of masks and the washing of hands.
Biosecurity protocols on farms follow these stringent rules to curb the spread of the Corona virus, now the issue of inspection on farms is a game changer.
The Corona virus pandemic has raised the bar on biosecurity, so how will farmers engage veterinarians?
New technologies must be employed to ensure safety of animals and farmers. Technologies designed to help farmers overcome COVID-19 restrictions may have longer-term value changing the face of farm inspections.
This is where using phones, data, and an interactive platform will come in handy. Telecommunications is not only to ensure food security but food safety as well.
Farm visitation, assessment and health status check of animals can be done remotely using technological innovation. Pre- Covid-19, the use of cameras,cctv, monitors on farms was limited but post Covid-19,this will be the new norm.
Farms can be accessed using monitors and certain sensors to check health status of animals, this will limit human and vehicular traffic. This is precision livestock farming: hands-free model to promote biosecurity.
Read :Red Tractor innovation . Red Tractor may offer a model for others where a physical presence may no longer be possible or necessary. Standard Red Tractor assessments in the U.K. came to halt in March, but pandemic or no pandemic, the scheme needed to ensure that its members were adhering to its standards.
It now does this through what it has termed “virtual eyes”
Rather than accept an inspector on farm, members of the scheme can now be checked via one of two ways.
One option requires members to submit documentation for pre-assessment which is then followed by a partial assessment using live-streaming technologies to produce a real-time farm inspection.
Alternatively, the entire assessment – reviewing paperwork and a visual inspection – can be streamed live with an assessor.
