EH Project BIOSECURE - Enhanced and cost-effective biosecurity in livestock production (2023-2026)
Vai al sito
The HE Project BIOSECURE (2023-2026) aims to improve the ability of decision makers in livestock farming to understand, prioritise and implement evidence based, cost-effective, and sustainable biosecurity management systems in multiple animal species and of different production types. This will be carried out through various work packages and tasks that include:
i) Reviewing the current understanding of biosecurity throughout the livestock production chain.
ii) Quantifying the impact of biosecurity practices on the prevention of infection and spread of disease.
iii) Enhancing current biosecurity measures, as well as expanding on these by carrying out field studies and performing experiments.
iv) The socio-economic impact of the BIOSECURE project will be assessed.
v) Stakeholder engagement will be facilitated to support knowledge transfer and implementation of key exploitable results.
The new or enhanced biosecurity management systems developed in the BIOSECURE project will help farmers of various animal species (pigs, poultry, cattle, small ruminants) and of different production types (indoor-outdoor) to keep animals healthy.
