Applying Bio security in Poultry farm

Measures for
Poultry Farm

2. • Measures that should be taken to keep any diseases from a farm.
 To protect from a biological threat
 A Poultry Producer operates within a complex global food system.
 Producers are the first line of defense in our food security system
• Biosecurity is the cheapest, most effective means of disease control
available
Biosecurity

3. • The Benefits of Biosecurity
 Helps keep out diseases Reduces the risks
 Limits the spread of disease
 Reduces mortality losses
 Improves profitability
Biosecurity

4.  People
 Vehicles
 Equipment
 Disease Animals
 Carrier Animals
 Fecal Material
 Body Discharges
 Contaminated Feed and Water
How Disease Spread?

5. How is Biosecurity
Achieved?
 Tire Baths
 Reduces opportunity for incoming traffic,
such as feed and delivery trucks, to bring
in pathogens from outside the perimeter of
the farm.

6. • Outside Perimeter
 High fences prevent intruders such as animals and people from
entering the premises and possibly transmitting diseases to the flock.
How is Biosecurity Achieved?

7. Control vector habitat and attractants
 Birds
 Rodents
 Varmints
 Insects
Make sure pen is animal and bird proof
How is Biosecurity Achieved?

8. How is Biosecurity
Achieved?
 Footbaths
 Footbaths are placed outside the door
of all facilities and contain
disinfectants, reducing the risk of
bringing pathogens inside the
buildings.

9. How is Biosecurity
Achieved?
 Sanitation of Equipment and Supplies
 The purpose of sanitizing equipment,
surfaces, and supplies is to reduce
pathogens.
 This is especially important in
preventing the spread of diseases
between neighboring flocks.

10. How is Biosecurity
Achieved?
 Good Hygiene
 Prior to entering the facility, employees and
visitors should demonstrate good hygiene by
showering and wearing clean designated
clothing such as boot covers, hairnets, and
cover-all.

11. How is Biosecurity
Achieved?
 Entrance Order
 The order of entering facilities depends on the
age of the birds.
 For example, you want to enter the hatchery first
(where the youngest birds are), before entering
the grower house (where the older birds live.)
 Older birds have stronger immune systems,
making them more resilient to any pathogens
that may be present.

12. How is Biosecurity
Achieved?
 No contact with outside birds
 Since most avian diseases are
transmitted through the air, it is highly
important to have no contact with
outside birds within 72 hours of
entering a facility.
 This includes pets as well as birds
from other flocks.

14.  Minimize stressors to prevent increased
susceptibility to disease
 Fresh feed
 Clean water
 Clean, dry litter
 Good ventilation
 Provide an overall comfortable environment
Maintain Flock health

16.  This factor has the greatest impact on the
animals' living conditions and on their
performance. Young animals: the body
temperature regulation mechanisms of chicks are
not very effective during the first few days of life.
The surface area in contact with the air is
proportionally very high. The buildings should be
warmed up 48 hours before the arrival of a new
flock. At start-up and until adult feathering is
achieved avoid temperature variations of more
than 5°C over a period of 24 hours. Avoid very
high temperatures, especially at the end of the
production.
TEMPERATURE

17. • On a farm, litter which is in poor condition indicates that other
parameters are being incorrectly controlled.
LITTER

18. • The term "chick quality" covers all the variables which may relate
directly with the ability of the chick to generate a profit. The health
quality of the chick is one component of chick quality. Controlling
this form of quality involves ensuring that the chick is not carrying
some infections: Salmonella, mycoplasmas, colibacillosis etc.
CHICK QUALITY

19. • Watch for symptoms such as:
 Coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, ruffled feathers, loss of
feathers, excessive picking, labored breathing and sudden drops
in production and feed or water consumption
• Eliminate unhealthy or nonproductive birds
• Check birds periodically for lice, mites, and worms
Disease/Health Checks

20. • Vaccinating breeders limits the vertical transmission of pathogens
(e.g. : encephalomyelitis) which could otherwise degrade chick
viability. It also enables the mothers to pass on protection via
maternal antibodies, which will protect the chicks for a certain
time. Vaccinating breeders thus enhances the chick's own passive
immunity (e.g. against IBD and infectious anemia).
