The single best way to reduce the risk of seasonal flu and its potentially serious complications is to get vaccinated each year, but preventive actions like avoiding people who are sick, covering your cough and washing your hands also can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses like flu.

Bird flu is highly contagious and the virus can survive in the environment. It can spread between farms when infected poultry or contaminated feces and respiratory secretions move from one farm to another
-
Use pest control to get rid of rats and mice, which can carry diseases on their feet and fur.

Separate your poultry area from the rest of your property. Search the area for wild bird droppings, feathers, or nests, and clean them up right away.

Biosecurity protocols should be observed.

Keep poultry away from wild animals and birds, and restrict visitors to the farm. Implement cleaning and disinfection practices for people, equipment, and vehicles.

Use and offer disposable boot covers and coveralls whenever you can. Keep wild birds and rodents out of poultry houses and coops. Don’t let your poultry have contact with migratory waterfowl or other wild birds. These birds can introduce germs and diseases to your flock.
