AB  - The broiler production faces many challenges, which can cause negative
effects on their health and welfare. The great importance for farmers is to prevent
disease outbreaks, and biosecurity measures are very significant. This study aimed
to quantify the level of biosecurity measures in broiler farms of different capacities,
using a standardized procedure, and to identify key aspects that would require
improvements. The research was conducted from May to September 2022, and 15
randomly selected broiler farms participated. Five large-size (>30,000 chickens),
five middle-size (10,000-30,000 chickens) and five small-size farms (<10,000
chickens) were analyzed. All farms are located in Vojvodina and farmers agreed to
participate in the survey. The Biocheck.UGent scoring system
(https://biocheckgent.com/en) was used to quantify biosecurity measures. The
overall farm biosecurity is a weighted average of the external and internal
biosecurity. Our results showed a low level of implementation of internal and
external biosecurity measures on all farms (40-63%). The overall rating of
biosecurity on farms was lower than the world and country's average. The results of
this study suggest that the control of implemented biosecurity measures in broiler
farms is very important. Most of the biosecurity risks for broiler farms originate
from inappropriate site selection, purchase of day-old chicks of unknown quality,
lack of procedures, and training of farm employees. This study should provide a
good encouragement for the development of a biosecurity plan, identifying risks
and the appropriate way to educate farm

AB  - Coccidiosis is a significant poultry disease caused by the Eimeria species. This study aims to determine the prevalence of Eimeria spp. on broiler farms in Vojvodina, along with the identification of parasite species, and assess the implemented biosecurity measures. The study was conducted on 100 broiler chicken farms (28 small-sized; 34 medium-sized; 38 large-sized farms) from June 2018 to December 2021. One pooled sample of faeces was collected from three to six-week-old chickens from each farm, and assessment of biosecurity measures was carried out using a questionnaire. Using the PCR method, DNA of Eimeria was found in 59 samples (59%), while 41 samples (41%) were negative. Four species of Eimeria were identified, and their prevalence was the following: E. acervulina (37%), E. maxima (17%), E. mitis (25%) and E. tenella (48%). A significant difference (p < 0.05) was established in the number of oocysts in flocks from small-sized farms compared to medium-sized farms. It was found that regular implementation of disinfection, disinsection and deratisation measures, as well as all the biosecurity measures, can significantly reduce the occurrence of coccidiosis. These results will help to develop better strategies for the control and prevention of coccidiosis on farms.
