TUCKER, Ga. — Biosecurity is the first line of defense in poultry production, and in a world where disease threats are rising — it’s no longer optional. It helps protect bird health, human safety, and farm profitability.
However, implementing biosecurity protocols on poultry farms is challenging because of human behavior, facility design, and resource limitations. To strengthen on-farm practices, the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association is offering producers information on “Infectious Disease Risk Management: Practical Biosecurity Resources for Commercial Poultry Producers” through its Learning Management System.
Producers will get an overview of comprehensive biosecurity practices, cleaning and disinfection, pest control, and so much more. The information is meant to help with the development of effective biosecurity practices and can be used as a tool for program creation, personnel training and education.
The “Infectious Disease Risk Management: Practical Biosecurity Resources for Commercial Poultry Producers” is available to USPOULTRY members under the “Featured” tab of the Learning Management System.
