Biosecurity, in other words excluding disease causing organisms from the creature’s environment, is the most effective form of protection. From viruses or bacteria, coccidia or fungi, disease may spread via recognised vectors of infection, from the animals themselves, the people who handle them, contaminated food and water, housing and equipment, and even the air itself. Viruses causing Chicken Anaemia or Gumboro are not only extremely persistent in the environment, but are also immunosuppressive, thus increasing susceptibility to additional pathogen attack. Modern biosecurity techniques are a key element in disease control, providing a healthier environment for your livestock.
