Biosecurity and Animal Welfare

Biosecurity involves practices to prevent the spread of diseases among animals and from animals to humans. It includes measures like controlling animal movement, maintaining hygiene, and quarantine protocols. Animal welfare focuses on ensuring animals are kept in conditions that meet their physical and emotional needs, including proper housing, nutrition, health care, and freedom from unnecessary stress. Both are essential for healthy, sustainable farming and wildlife management, protecting animals’ well-being while safeguarding public and environmental health.
