    How does a disease Outbreak happen?
    – usually happens when a specific pathogen is introduced to a
    farm and spreads rapidly in a short period of time.
    Contributing factors
    1. Environmental factors
    2. Personnel movement
    3. Health status of the flock (presence of other diseases)
    4. New pathogens or mutated strains
    5. Vaccine failure

    Biosecurity – Big factor why an outbreak occurs.

    With biosecurity as the best defense to keep all diseases out, this is not always possible, especially on a commercial farm with higher densities of animals in the region. For that reason Hendrix Genetics is breeding for self-reliant animals. Animals that can handle health challenges or at least recover quicker. Self-reliant animals are easier to manage and deliver return on investment.

    Layers: Pioneering research conducted by Wageningen University in the Netherlands and Hendrix Genetics revealed a genetic link to natural antibodies (called: NAbs) with huge potential to impact productivity, biosecurity, and sustainability.

    Turkeys: Hybrid Turkeys walking score with force plate.

    Swine: Hypor Magnus delivers less than 5% drop in average daily gain growing faster than the competition, with consistent growth and less variation among pigs from birth to market.

    Aquaculture: Hendrix Genetics utilizes differentiated breeding in aquaculture based on health challenge tests of families.

    Traditional poultry: With slower growth and natural resilience SASSO birds have key features of sustainable poultry breeding with enhanced disease control and disease-resistance.

    Practicing good biosecurity is the best method in preventing disease outbreaks and keeping animals on your farm healthy. Through following biosecurity protocols, Hendrix Genetics contributes to better breeding today, for a brighter life tomorrow, strengthening the industry by maintaining strong supply channels with high quality animal genetics.

    Biosecurity is a key important to control outbreaks happen, but vaccination also play a pivotal role to prevent disease outbreaks .
