Biosecurity, an outline

Published: July 13, 2009
By: Montajat Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd.
“A Set Of Management Practices,
Which When Followed Correctly
Reduce The Potential For The Introduction And Spread Of Disease Causing Organisms
Onto, And Between Farms”

Why “Reduced”, and Not Finished?
  • Microbes Can Be Controlled, Not Prevented
  • Microbes are more Versatile To Overcome Adversity (Quickly Adapt to New Environment)
  • Population of Microbes is Very High, and Widely Distributed
  • Microbes Multiply Rapidly
  • “Disease Occurrence Can be Minimized, Productivity Can Be Optimized”
Relationship Between
Expenditure And Return From Biosecurity

Economics of Biosecurity

Biosecurity, an outline - Image 2

Importance of Biosecurity
Highly Intensive Farming-
Birds At Stress; Lowered Immunity- Higher Susceptibility to Diseases
Highly Productive Livestock- More Prone to Diseases

Microbial Contamination-
Important Concern for Exports Market
Shelf Life

Rise Of Disease Incidence-
Contagious/ Transmissible Diseases on the Rise
Variant Strains
Complexed Forms Of Diseases
Virulence On The Rise
Indiscriminate Use Of Antibiotics, Giving Rise To Resistant Microbes

Biosecurity- Classification

Conceptual Biosecurity:
  • Location of the Farm
  • Mode of Transport
Structural Biosecurity:
  • Farm Modernization
  • Building and Infrastructure Planning and Designing
Organisational Biosecurity:
  • Disinfection
  • Vaccination
  • Hygiene Measures
  • Record Keeping for Biosecurity parameters
Biosecurity Success- Hierarchy
Importance, Investment and Role

Initial Challenges of Biosecurity

Increased Immediate Costs
  • Direct Cost
  • Additional Manpower
  • Direct Profits Reduced
  • Long Term Plan
Advantages of Following Biosecurity
  • Healthier Livestock Higher Productivity
  • Higher Profits, by Reduced Losses
  • Controlled Pathogen Level in the Farm
  • Losses Due to Potential Epidemics Prevented
  • Safety to Public Health
  • Important for Procuring International Certifications

Modes of Disease Introduction and Transmission
  • Carriers Within A Flock
  • Birds Recently Acquired From An Outside Flock
  • Eggs From Infected Breeder Flocks
  • Human Feet, Hands, And Clothes
  • Dust, Feathers, And Manure On Equipment And Supplies, Such As Trucks, And Egg Flats
  • Feral Birds, Predators, Rodents, Flies, And Insects
  • Live Or Contaminated Vaccines
  • Feed Contaminated At The Manufacturing Plant
  • Water
  • Air
Physio- Chemical Methods to Execute Biosecurity

Interrupt The Pathway Of Disease
  • All Microbes Have Life- Cycle
  • Destroy It By Inhibiting Conducive Atmosphere
  • Adequate Decontamination Of Animal Buildings And Pens Prior To Occupation.
  • Provision Of A Clear Air Supply And Adequate Ventilation
  • Exclusion Of Vectors Of Infection, e.g. Birds, Insects, Rodents, Dogs, And Even Visitors
  • Adequate Disposal Of Sewage, Slurry, And Other Farm Waste
  • Proper Disposal Of Carcasses, Dead Due To Infectious Diseases
  • Provision Of A Safe And Clean Water And Food Supply
  • Use Disinfected Instruments e.g. vaccine administrators, nebulizers etc.
  • Give Sufficient Gap Between Grow Outs
Principle Pathways of Cross Infection and Cross Contamination

Biosecurity, an outline - Image 6

Control the Infectious Disease
  • Protect the Susceptible Animals
  • Artificial Immunization (Vaccination)
  • Quarantine of Infected Animals
  • Eliminate Non- Curable Animals
Disinfection (The Key to Biosecurity)
How Disinfection Helps?
  • It Breaks The Life Cycle Of Infectious Microbes
  • Regular Use At Recommended Intervals Prevents The Build-up

Disinfection- Is it Adequate Alone?


What Makes Disinfection Effective?
  • Good Husbandry Practices
  • Strict Hygiene
  • Evacuation Of Food Residues, Dirt And Excreta
Ideal Biosecurity Programme

INDEED THE WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE ABOUT BIOSECUTIRY HAS DONE A GREAT JOB. THIS IS AN AWARENESS CREATION ON ITS OWN ABOUT THE NEED TO EMBRACE BIO-SECURITY SYSTEM IN OUR FARMS, THE WORLD-OVER.

THE ECONOMIC ANALYSES ARE SO PEIRCING AND IRRESISTABLE FOR ANY RIGHT-THINKING FARMER TO IGNORE.FURTHER STILL, THE JOY OF FARMERS IS PROFIT -MAKING OF COURSE, THAT IS THE ESSENCE AND ALTIMATE. SO, IF THE INFORMATION HIGHLIGHTED ARE JUDICIOUSLY CONSIDERED, WE WILL ALL BE BENEFITED FOR IT AND EXCESSIVE LOSSES WILL EQUALLY BE CURTAILED IN TERMS OF WASTAGES IN DRUGS.

LASTLY, FURTHER ENLIGHTENMENT CAMPAIGNS SHOULD BE ENSURED BY THE STAKEHOLDERS IN THE INDUSTRY AS A COMPLIMENT TO OUR ENGORMIX.COM MANAGEMENT, TO ENSURE UNIVERSAL ACHIEVEMENT.

THANKS.

Very good article about Biosecurity.
As biosecurity is the first line of diffence in combatic poultry diseases, every effort to bring awareness on biosecurity can benifit the poultry industry.
