Biosecurity
Management practices to reduce the risk of transmission of disease onto and away from a production site.
Irrespective of size, integrated company to backyard flock, advice can be given on:
- Tailoring biosecurity programmes to unit requirements
- Biosecurity audits
- Training employees in good practice
Benefits
-
