Let's talk about biosecurity today, without which you can never succeed in Agro business especially if it's livestock. I'll share a lovely post from a dear colleague whose write ups inspires me. Read, enjoy and ensure you practice it....... LESSONS IN BIOSECURITY Our farms are our businesses, and ultimately our livelihood, and therefore a good biosecurity program should be a part of every farm management and poultry production plan. BIOSECURITY BASICS 1) Always follow the “age rule.” You always visit youngest birds to oldest birds and should never go the other way. 2) Always keep a logbook of who is entering your farm with: *Full name *The last time they had contact with poultry and where *Date and reason for the visit. *If the flock last visited was sick 3) Limit all vehicular traffic on to a farm. Have a vehicle dedicated to the farm if needed. 4) Always wear shoe covers, coveralls, hair-nets, gloves and remove all personal items (such as phones, wallet, keys, etc.) t
