A Danish entry is the minimum requirement for
controlling the entrance and exit of pathogens to and
from a hog barn. It is part of an effective biosecurity
plan and can be built at a relatively low cost.
A Danish entry is the primary entrance room attached
to the production area of the hog barn. It has two
sides, “dirty” and “clean”, which are divided by a
solid barrier. A place to store clothing and footwear
is located on both sides and there are facilities and/or
supplies for people to clean their hands. The Danish
entry should be the only entrance to the production
area that people use.
