Bio security is a set of protocols that are simple but specific that positively influence animal health,public health and ensure food safety. Personal hygiene is a key player in biosecurity.
Personal hygiene plays a vital role in disease prevention. The use of protective clothing and shoes is a major way to stay safe and keep flock clean.
The protective clothing could be disposable or reusable and the level protection required will depend on the case at hand.
The normal protective clothing for every day farm use include, the overalls,gloves and boots.
The level of protection becomes more sophisticated in outbreak cases, where disposable protective clothing are worn.
There is also the use of nose guards/respirators, gloves and boots.
The use of protective clothing and boots is coupled with hand washing and disinfection. The clothes and boots are to be washed and disinfected after every use.
HAND WASHING: this can be done with soap hand sanitizers and disinfectants.The wash bowls should be placed at key points in the farm,and washing should be done before you enter farm and handle birds.
Alcohol swipes also come in handy after washing, these can be used to ensure the hands are clean and germ free.
Foot dip.and vats filled with disinfectant are placed at entry of farms ,the disinfectants should be changed at regular intervals changed at regular intervals.
