Biosecurity

• Biosecure entry education trailer (BEET)

  These biosecure entries are designed to make it easier for people to remove potentially contaminated outside clothing and boots and put on barn specific clothing and boots.

• Rethink biosecurity

  Identified risks are usually associated with virus contaminated people, equipment or wild bird contact – direct or indirect. With introductions into single barns on multi-barn sites, the emphasis on biosecurity needs to focus on the barn.

• Personal protective equipment (PPE) for poultry

  Working in poultry facilities involves exposures to dust, gasses and disinfecting chemicals, in addition to bacteria and virus strains. It is important to select proper personal protective equipment (PPE) (512 K PDF).

• Poultry biosecurity hazards: identify movement and flows on animal farms

  Biosecurity protocols are used to prevent the introduction of infectious disease organisms to animals on a farm and to control a diseases’ spread within and between barns and farms.
