Sanitary Barriers, Visitor Restrictions, and Controls on Poultry Farms

The BroilerNet project identifies and promotes effective biosecurity practices for European broiler farms, focusing on sanitary barriers through changing rooms, restricted visitor access, and rigorous registration. These measures—featuring physical barriers, showering, and farm-provided protective clothing—significantly reduce disease transmission risks, enhance animal welfare, and improve economic outcomes by minimizing health interventions. The practices are supported by staff training and infrastructure investment, contributing to better farm biosecurity and public health.
