The best to approach any biosecurity practice is to think about five basic questions to get the conversation and brainstorming going.
1) What disease agent we want to avoid?
2) What is the most likely source of contamination?
3) How can the disease agent enter the farm?
4) What prophylactic and therapeutic options we have available?
5) What steps will be taken when a flock of birds contracts the disease?
Obtaining answers for these questions will make us think about implementable practices and procedures to reduce the risk of an infectious agent entering our flock of birds.

Biosecurity measures prevent the spread of disease by limiting the entry and exit of disease-causing agents. These measures can be applied to farms, gardens, or other areas where people or animals might be at risk.

To prevent disease, biosecurity measures involve practices designed to reduce the risk of pathogen introduction, establishment, survival, and spread, including restricting traffic, cleaning and disinfecting, and monitoring animal health.
