Preventing pest entry by using screens, seals, and other barriers. Implementation requires inspecting structures for access points and installing physical barriers where needed.

Introducing nematodes that prey on pest larvae to the environment. Implementation requires selecting the appropriate species and timing the application to match the pest's life cycle.

Maintaining detailed logs of pest management activities to inform future decisions. Implementation involves documenting pest incidence, treatment efficacy, and any changes in management practices.

Modifying farming practices to reduce pest establishment, reproduction, dispersal, and survival. Implementation can include crop rotation, sanitation, and habitat manipulation.

Using resistant animal breeds or genetically modified organisms to reduce pest impact. Implementation may involve selective breeding programs or introduction of GMOs that confer resistance.

Using breeds that have shown resistance to certain pests to reduce impacts. Implementation includes selecting and raising these breeds within the livestock facility.

Employing devices or equipment to control pests, such as vacuuming, tillage, or hand-picking. Implementation involves the regular use of these devices in and around the facility.

Controlling the quality and storage of feed to deter pests. Implementation involves using sealed containers, proper rotation, and avoiding spillage.

Utilizing natural predators or parasites to control pest populations. Implementation involves introducing or enhancing populations of natural enemies of pests in the livestock environment.

Applying pesticides or other chemicals to reduce pest populations. Implementation requires careful choice and timing of chemicals to minimize resistance and harm to non-target organisms.

Isolating new animals or those showing signs of infestation to prevent the spread of pests. Implementation includes setting up designated quarantine areas and strict monitoring protocols.

Altering the livestock environment to make it less attractive to pests. Implementation may involve redesigning facilities to reduce breeding sites and access points for pests.

Switching between different chemical classes of pesticides to manage resistance. Implementation requires planning pesticide use to avoid repeated applications of the same class of chemicals.

Using traps that emit synthetic pheromones to attract and capture pests. Implementation involves placing the traps at strategic points and regularly checking and replacing them.

Regularly checking for pest presence and levels to inform management decisions. Implementation involves setting up traps, visual inspections, and sampling to detect and monitor pest populations.

Using physical methods to reduce or eliminate pests, such as trapping, heat treatments, or exclusion barriers. Implementation involves setting up traps, screens, or using temperature control strategies.

Administering medications to livestock to prevent or treat pest infestations. Implementation must be done under veterinary guidance, with consideration for withdrawal periods and potential resistance.

Imposing legal restrictions on the movement of animals or goods to prevent the spread of pests. Implementation involves quarantines, inspections, and certification schemes.

Maintaining a clean environment to reduce food, water, and shelter for pests. Implementation involves regular cleaning schedules, proper waste disposal, and manure management.
