Agritourism practices on U.S. goat operations as part of the NAHMS Goat 2019 Study

Abstract

Agritourism is any practice that brings the general public onto an agricultural operation and is a growing industry. Agritourism public health risks include physical safety hazards, food safety concerns, and zoonotic disease transmission. This study evaluated management practices on goat agritourism operations and identified areas where mitigations could potentially be introduced to decrease public health risks for goat agritourism operations.
