Key Biosecurity Factors for Livestock Producers
Biosecurity measures prevent or limit the introduction, circulation and persistance of contaminants in a production unit, as well as their dissemination to other sites. The management of these measures is based on a strategic and integrated approach aimed at analysing and managing all the possible risks. They are typically split into external biosecurity for all the factors outside the unit, and internal biosecurity for everything inside the barn or house in direct contact with the animals.
