DETERMINATION OF NEW BIOSECURITY INDICATORS ON CATTLE AND PIG FARMS BASED ON DIFFERENT PUBLICATIONS

Abstract

In recent years, numerous plans and programs, instructions, recommendations, scientific opinions, analysis, reports, best practices, regulations and other type of publications have been published in publications, other than in journals and symposiums proceedings that consider indicators of biosecurity on cattle and pig farms in order to improve their health and productivity. These indicators were created mainly as results of research in numerous national and international projects, which consider key indicators and prescribe on-farm assessments of biosecurity on cattle and pig farms. In the assessments of the biosecurity level in different systems of rearing and accommodation on cattle and pig farms, the need to determine indicators was observed. The publication about plans and programs, instructions, recommendations, scientific opinions, analysis, reports, best practices and regulations, related to biosecurity level contain numerous indicators. The analysis of these publications aims to determine the main characteristics of the existing and to generate ideas to define new biosecurity indicators of the animals on cattle and pig farms.
