Fukuoka, Kyushu - Moji Quarantine Facility










We arrived at the Quarantine Facility at Moji, just outside Fukuoka - extraordinary food safety precautions are followed here with all of the cattle that arrive into the Fukuoka area.

The facility can handle up to 1500 cattle at a time - the animals are kept here for up to 18 days and then another 12 days are needed to clean up afterwards.

We were required to suit up with sanitary uniforms so that we would not bring our germs into the facility.

All countries should be required to follow this protocol - impressive!
