Abstract

We know that there should be good biosecurity practices on poultry and pig farms, but we tend to forget the need for biosecurity on dairy farms. A dairy farmer must continuously identify and manage risk to run a good business that produces good-quality products. Biosecurity refers to management practices that reduce the chances of infectious diseases occurring and spreading on the farm.
