Biosecurity, News, and Education
Urban poultry farming has become a popular hobby and source of food for many city dwellers. With the rise of this industry, it is vital to understand and implement the best practices for biosecurity. Biosecurity refers to the measures taken to prevent the spread of diseases and parasites between poultry populations.
CWC FARMS plans to mitigate the risk of a biosecurity breach by supplying poultry farmers with proper cleaning materials such as bleach, wash basins, educational materials, and hand sanitizer. We give an overview of biosecurity best practices and assess the needs of the poultry farmer.
