- Scope

Over the last few decades the poultry industry – supported by technological advances in genetic selection, feed quality, growing methods, processing and marketing – has outstripped all other agricultural commodities in both, developed and developing countries. This is mainly due to poultry being the most efficient protein-producing (meat and eggs) domestic species with the lowest feed conversion ratio. The majority of the small-scale broiler farms and all most backyards were far from the implementation of biosecurity measures. Biosecurity situation needs a combined effort from stakeholders, poultry keepers in (backyard) to improve biosecurity level for these sectors. Biosecurity implementation requires experience throughout awareness, training, known the resources of higher risk and loss of profit
