Enhancing biosecurity through zone-specific equipment dedication

Improving biosecurity on broiler chicken farms through zone-specific equipment allocation. This factsheet outlines a practical approach to reduce pathogen transmission by assigning dedicated tools and materials to distinct zones within poultry houses. By limiting cross-contamination between areas, farmers can protect flocks from disease outbreaks. The method applies to workwear, tools, and equipment such as buckets, ladders, and wheelbarrows. Developed by ANSES, this strategy enhances farm hygiene and supports sustainable, high-density broiler production.
