Globally, the way the animal production industry copes with infectious diseases is changing. The (excessive) use of antimicrobials is under debate and it is becoming standard practice to implement thorough biosecurity plans on farms to prevent the entry and spread of pathogenic micro-organisms. Not only in farm animal production, but also in facilities where companion animals are kept, including in veterinary practices and clinics, awareness of the beneficial implications of a good biosecurity plan has raised. The book Biosecurity in Animal Production and Veterinary Medicine is the first compilation of both fundamental aspects of biosecurity practices, and specific and practical information on the application of the biosecurity measures in different animal production and animal housing settings.

This bulletin first reviews the increasing concern about biosecurity in the agricultural sector and the biosecurity risk posed by farm visitors. It then presents guidance on assessing visitor risk, controlling access to livestock operations, precautions concerning manure, the requirements for access to premises by the relevant provincial authorities, and the development of a biosecurity plan.

Over the past three to five years biosecurity has become a more commonly used word, first with veterinary professionals and then more recently with the media that serve the agriculture community. The speculation about the potential of intentional introduction of disease agents has raised the concern level about this issue even higher. The authors of this issue hope to provide the veterinary practitioner with a framework for developing and customizing biosecurity programs directed at controlling certain types of infectious disease agents. The information in the following chapters will provide a framework for developing biosecurity and biocontainment programs for cattle operations and veterinary clinics.

The Canadian Beef Cattle On-Farm Biosecurity Standard provides practical and effective on farm biosecurity practices which can reduce the risk of disease, when properly applied and followed, and which are of a low cost to the producer to implement. Developed over two years, in consultation with beef cattle producers, industry and government, the Standard is designed specifically for the Canadian beef cattle industry and is applicable to farm-level operations of all types and sizes. Its focus is on practices and procedures that reduce the risk and impact of disease in cattle operations. The Standard is built on four basic principles of on-farm risk reduction: managing and minimizing animal movement risks; managing the movement of people, vehicles, equipment and tools; managing animal health practices; and the biosecurity knowledge and training of personnel on the operation's biosecurity plan.--Includes text from document.
