Across the world, infectious disease management is changing within the animal productions industry, with many looking to good biosecurity plans, combined with veterinary medicine, as a way of working to prevent the spread and entry of pathogenic microorganisms.
In any facility where animals are kept, not only within animal production, studies continue to raise awareness of the importance of biosecurity and it’s beneficial implications on the health and welfare of animals, as well as reducing the spread of infections diseases amongst livestock and companion animals.

This book is the first compilation of both aspects of biosecurity practices, and specific & practical information on the application of the biosecurity measures in different animal production and animal housing settings. Starting with a general introductory chapter on the epidemiology of infectious diseases before moving into the general principles of biosecurity. It also includes specific topics including Rodent & Incest control, cleaning & disinfecting, hygeine and the decontamination of feed, drinking water & air.

This book is targeted towards farm and animal facility managers, consultants, and animal caretakers, as well as veterinarians and anyone with an interest in the prevention of diseases in animals. Academics and students will also benefit from this book.
