Farm Biosecurity

                       

Diseases, especially those caused by viruses, present a major threat to profitable livestock   production. 
Biosecurity, or reducing the number of infectious organisms in the environment, is an effective and cost-effective form of protection. 

 Over the years, DuPont products and programs for biosecurity have been developed with leading producers from around the world.  DuPont products have proven effective in practical farm conditions against a broad spectrum of pathogens.
