Biosecurity Status of Selected Poultry Farm of Bangladesh

1. Survey on Biosecurity Status
in Commercial Poultry Farms
of Bangladesh

2. What is Biosecurity ?
• Biosecurity, is a set of preventive measures designed
to reduce the risk of transmission and spread of
disease causing microorganism into a poultry farm.
• It’s a all about preparation to protect the poultry
farm from harmful microbes

3. Why we concern about
Biosecurity?
 To keep disease away from poultry farm
 To decrease the challenge of pathogens
 To control the disease spreading
 To improve health of bird
 To increase profitability of poultry farm

4. What is the objective of the
study?
i. To evaluate the biosecurity status of small and medium
size farm of different region in Bangladesh
ii. To study the effect of biosecurity on disease control in
different poultry farms
iii. To determine the weak and strong points of current
biosecurity protocols of poultry farming in Bangladesh

5. Methodology:-
1. We work through the questionnaire that was developed by
Department of Pathology, BAU
2. It was done by several cluster of group of veterinary
student, each student visited at least 5 farms
3. Accumulation, curing, analysis and interpretation of data

6. Location Area:
MymensinghRangpur
Barisal

 High investment cost
 Inadequate and poor quality feed source
 Poor quality feed

25. Comparative Picture of Poultry
Industry in Bangladesh and USA
Points Bangladesh USA
1.Estimated farm 1,50,000 2,33,770
1.Egg production 7.34 Billion 99.80 Billion
3.Poultry meat
production
570 Million 8.54 Billion

26. Role of Veterinarians on
Biosecurity
i. To share knowledge with farmers
ii. To maintain good with farmers
iii. To organize training programme on Biosecurity
iv. To give good veterinary service to them

27. Experience Gained through
This survey
 Idea about poultry farming system of Bangladesh
 Evaluation of farmer demand
 To know about weak and strong points in poultry industry
 To gain proper idea of farming
 Poultry industry challenges that faced by farmer
