Abstract: A milk-producing animal is provided with decontaminated air, decontaminated water, and decontaminated feed inside a hermetically sealed decontaminated facility. Uncontaminated milk is then obtained from the animal within the facility. The animal is decontaminated and vaccinated before being placed in the facility. Human personnel decontamination, a mandatory airlock, and/or automated livestock equipment are also utilized to limit contamination of the hermetically sealed facility.

Abstract: A decontaminable livestock facility has a hermetically sealed shell defining an exterior and an interior, with livestock equipment for milking, feeding, watering, manure removal, bedding, and/or exercise. A decontamination system removes contaminants from air and water. A contaminant monitoring system tests contaminant levels within the facility. An airlock for access to the interior limits contamination, as does a positive air pressure system. Uncontaminated beef, milk and other livestock products are obtained from livestock housed within the facility.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method of responding to an environmental event. One or more event detectors within an environment are monitored and an alarm is triggered when the event detectors indicate an environmental event has occurred. A monitoring service is automatically notified that the environmental event has occurred and the existence of the environmental event is then verified. Service is requested from a pre-approved vendor qualified to address and/or correct the environmental event. Correction and/or addressing of the environmental event are then verified.
