The CSF takes bio security very seriously. As a standard practice after the use of a stall it is cleaned and sprayed with a chemical called Virkon. Virkon is a highly effective, broad-spectrum disinfectant that has been proven effective against all virus families affecting man and animals. Clean fresh bedding is added. Spraying for flies is done as needed. Manure removal is done daily from around the barns. We encourage exhibitors to spray their trailers to kill flies before leaving home.
