CONCEPT OF BIOSECURITY--Dr. Mustapha.pdf

Biosecurity refers to measures and practices implemented to prevent the introduction and spread of harmful organisms, diseases, and pests. These measures are crucial in various settings, including agriculture, healthcare facilities, and research laboratories. Biosecurity protocols may include quarantine procedures, strict hygiene practices, controlled access to facilities, and the use of protective equipment. By implementing biosecurity measures, the risk of disease outbreaks and the introduction of invasive species can be minimized, protecting the health and safety of both humans and animals
Pathogens capable of causing a pandemic include viruses, bacteria, and other infectious agents that have the potential to spread quickly and widely across the global population. Some examples of such pathogens include influenza viruses (such as H1N1 and H5N1), coronaviruses (such as SARS-CoV-2), and bacteria like Yersinia pestis, which causes plague. These pathogens have the ability to cause widespread illness and have the potential to overwhelm healthcare systems, leading to significant social and economic impacts.

3. WHAT IS BIOSECURITY?
•“Bio” refers to life while “security ” refers to protection.
•Therefore “Biosecurity” refers to any program designed to prevent disease
causing organism to come in contact with birds on the farm.
•Biosecurityisthe cheapest, most effective means of disease control available.

4. WHY DO WE NEED BIOSECURITY
•To keep lethal diseases out of farm premises e.gA.I,N.D,I.B.D I.L.T, I.B
etc
•Toreducechallengebycommonpathogensknowntoreduceproductivitye.g
Escherichiacoli,Emeriaspp.,Haemophilusgallinarum,Mycoplasmasynoviae, M.
gallisepticum,Salmonellagallinarum,Pasteurellamultocidaetc.
•Maximize productivity and profitability

5. MEANS OF DISEASE SPREAD
•People
•Vehicles
•Rodents and insects
•Equipment
•Diseased Animals
•Fecal Material
•Body Discharges
•Contaminated Feed and Water

6. LEVELS OF BIOSECURITY
•Primary or Conceptual Biosecurity
•Secondary or Structural Biosecurity
•Tertiary or Operational/Procedural Biosecurity

7. Conceptual Biosecurity
•LOCATION OF FARM
•Farms should be located in an isolated area such that it should be;
•Away fromresidentialarea
•Notclosetootherfarms
•Away from major roads
•Away from hatcheries and feed mills
•Awayfrompoultrymarkets

8. Structural Biosecurity
•PHYSICAL FACTORS
•Farm Layout
•Perimeter Fencing
•Housingdesign
•Drainage
•Number/location of changing rooms
•Location of staff dometry,offices and stores.
•Location of carcass/waste disposal facility

9. Operational Biosecurity
•ROUTINE PROCEDURES
•BIOEXCLUSION
•Maintaingoodrecordofvisitors
•Avoid unnecessary visitors
•Foot and/or wheel bath
•BIOCONTAINMENT
•Specific staff to specific pens
•Depopulation

10. MAIN COMPONENTS OF A GOOD
BIOSECURITY PROGRAM
Good
Biosecurity
Sanitation
•Isolation
Traffic
Control

11. ISOLATION
Isolation refers to
•Time
•Distance
•Physical barriers

12. Traffic And Visitor Control
•Traffic control includes both traffic to your farm and the traffic patterns within the
farm and it includes;
•Limit staff movements
•Avoid visitors
•Spray vehicles
•Adequate protective clothing
•Hand washing devices
•Showers
•E.T.C

13. HOW IS BIOSECURITY ACHIEVED?
1.Farm Siting and Layout
•Outside Perimeter (Fencing)
•Distance between pens and Pen design
2.Employment of skilled and qualified personnel
3.Entrance order
4.Tire bath
5.Vector control
•Birds
•Rodents
•Varmints
•insects

14. HOW IS BIOSECURITY ACHIEVED?
4.Footbaths
5.Regular sanitation of equipment and pen houses
6.Good hygiene
7.Avoid contact with other birds.
8.Regular training of farm staff on biosecurity

15. HOW IS BIOSECURITY ACHIEVED?
9.Maintain flock heath by avoiding stressors
•Minimize stressors
•Fresh and highly nutritious feed
•Clean water
•Clean and dry litter
•Adequate ventilation
•Conducive environment

16. HOW IS BIOSECURITY ACHIEVED?
10.Litter management
11.Screening of day old chicks
12.Diseases checks
•Watch for symptoms
•Eliminate unhealthy or nonproductive birds
•Use of diagnostic facilities
13.Routine Vaccination
14.Routine seromonitoring

17. SIGNIFICANCE/BENEFITS OF
BIOSECURITY IN POULTRY INDUSTRY
1.Helps keep out diseases and reduces their risks
2.Limits the spread of diseases
3.Improve overall health of the flock
4.Reduces mortality losses
5.Enhance productivity as well as Improves profitability
