Biosafety Components
As reported above, biosafety are procedures designed to mainly prevent the entry and dissemination of infirmities in an animal production system or to maintain control over diseases existing in the system. This is attained by maintaining the least possible flow of biological organisms (viruses, parasites, fungi, rodents, wild animals, people, etc.., etc...) through the segments of the production system.
No disease prevention program will be effective without this basic procedure. Biosafety basically has nine main technical operational components that work as links of a chain. That is, a biosafety program will only be fully successful when all the links of this chain are firmly joined to each other. Each one of these links requires permanent maintenance and review to prevent weak points in the chain and consequent failure in the system's biosafety.
That is, the effectiveness of a biosafety program will always be equal to the resistance of the weakest link (component) of the chain.
The chain of basic components is a biosafety program.
The links of the biosafety chain have already been described, in different levels of detailing, in other publications and this article will be specifically limited to some main general aspects related to biosafety programs for broiler poultries. However, it is important to note that all aspects discussed herein can, in their totality, be applied to turkey fattening poultries.
