Biosecurity measures can help prevent the spread of disease in poultry flocks. Here are some ways to improve biosecurity on a chicken farm

To make your chicken farm biosecure, you can:
<ul jscontroller=”M2ABbc” jsaction=”jZtoLb:SaHfyb” data-hveid=”CCsQAQ” data-ved=”2ahUKEwis4MyJpP2JAxXSfKQEHfIfF-AQm_YKegQIKxAB”>
Control access
Limit access to the farm, and only allow authorized people and vehicles. Keep a record of who enters and exits the farm.
Sanitize
Keep the farm clean and disinfected. Provide handwashing and disinfection stations for visitors and workers.
Use footbaths
Use footbaths to disinfect the shoes of visitors and workers before they enter or leave certain areas.
Enforce clothing rules
Have workers and visitors wear dedicated farm clothing that they don’t wear off the farm.
Remove dead birds
Remove dead birds from the flock as soon as possible.
Control pests and rodents
Use traps, baits, and proper storage to control pests and rodents.
Keep the farm bird-friendly
Keep grass short and remove unnecessary vegetation that could provide hiding places for wild birds.
Clean up feed scraps
Clean up feed scraps everywhere on the farm, and dispose of feed bags immediately.
Screen storage
Screen storage of materials and bedding to prevent wildlife from accessing them.
Improve drainage
Ensure the farm has good drainage to prevent rain puddles that attract wild birds and pests.
Use an all-in, all-out system
Have all birds enter and exit the farm at the same time.
Sanitize water
Sanitize water that could be contaminated by wild birds, such as water from a dam or river.
Biosecurity measures are important because they help prevent the introduction of diseases that can cause serious economic losses for farmers.
