Perimeter paving for broiler barn biosecurity

Perimeter paving of broiler barns enhances biosecurity, supporting animal health, welfare, and production sustainability by reducing disease-related losses and productivity declines. This simple, effective measure is especially valuable during critical phases—bird introduction and loading—offering protection regardless of width, with 5 meters being sufficient. The practice strengthens biosecurity standards and is highlighted in a BroilerNet factsheet with photographic evidence.
