Evaluating biosecure entry and exit protocols and education methods in a mock livestock facility

Analysis showed education Method did not influence Errors or Time during Entry or Exit. Participants made 1.37 times more Entry Errors (<i>P</i> ≤ 0.02) and 1.19 times more Exit Errors (<i>P</i> ≤ 0.17) during round 2 compared to round 1. Compared to Protocol 1, participants made 1.47 times more Errors on average during Protocol 2 (<i>P</i> ≤ 0.02) and 1.87 times more during Protocol 3 (<i>P</i> ≤ 0.001). The time to complete the entry procedures was associated with Protocol, Round and the Initial experience, but exit time was only associated with Protocol and Round.
