Poultry Biosecurity
The greatest threat to the wellbeing of any creature comes from other creatures of the same species. The closer they crowd together the greater the risk of disease.
Biosecurity in poultry farms (in other words excluding disease-causing pathogens from the creature’s environment) is an effective form of protection.
From viruses, bacteria or fungi, disease may spread via recognized vectors of infection:
- From the animals themselves,
- The people who handle them,
- Contaminated food and water,
- Housing and equipment,
- The air itself.
Viruses causing
- Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)
- Newcastle Disease
- Chicken Anaemia
- Gumboro
are not only extremely persistent in the environment, but immunosuppressive increasing susceptibility to additional pathogen attack. An advanced biosecurity program is an essential and effective form of protection against disease-causing pathogens that affect poultry production and productivity.
