Welcome to the Equine Biosecurity Risk Calculator. The Calculator is an educational resource of Equine Guelph (University of Guelph) developed in partnership with Colorado State University and the American Association of Equine Practitioners. This tool provides information on equine health, infectious disease and infectious disease control.
CALCULATE THE BIOSECURITY RISK ON YOUR FARM
Is Your Farm at Risk?
Complete the questionnaire and find out how your farm rates - plus learn ways to improve the areas that are at risk. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Please choose the answer(s) that best reflects your farm.
