Bio-management • Key components include:

1. Bio-exclusion 2. Bio-containment 3. Bio-management

Biosecurity is made up of three separate, but often blended, sets of actions and overlapping components:

to prevent entrance of infection into a pig farm control the spread of infection within that farm.

Biosecurity of pigs at the farm level is the set of practical measures taken _____________________________________ and _____________________________________

1. Geographic location of the farm 2. Proximity to other pig farms 3. Epidemiological situation 4. Type of swine operation 5. Level of technology used for production 6. Other farm personnel employed on the farm

Factors affecting the application of biosecurity measures among farms:

• Essential component of many on-farm food safety programs • Greater consumer acceptability of the quality and safety of the food supply. • Healthy animals that are more productive • Improved animal welfare • Improved efficiency and profitability for the pork producer

The development and implementation of a biosecurity program provides:

keep out pathogens that the herd has not been exposed to minimize the impact of endemic pathogens

The goal of a biosecurity program is to ___________________________________________________ and to ________________________________________________

bio-containment

The purpose of _________________________ is preventing the spread of disease agents to neighbors or even long distance transfer, but also the very important process of protecting the food supply for consumers.

bio-containment

This component is extremely important in any pig production system and often is the "right thing to do" for neighbors and other pig producers in a community.

Bio-exclusion

This is where most producers focus.

1. Prevalence of disease that can affect your herd 2. How each disease is transmitted 3. How each disease can be controlled 4. How to prevent each disease from entering the herd 5. Potential cost of an introduction and outbreak

To develop a useful biosecurity plan, it is necessary to know:

Biosecurity

_______________ of pigs at the farm level is the set of practical measures taken to prevent entrance of infection into a pig farm and control the spread of infection within that farm.

Bio-exclusion

___________________ is simply preventing the introduction of unwanted disease agents into the farm or system.

Bio-management

__________________________ is the combined effort to control economically important infectious diseases that are already present in the farm population
