1. Small flocks and basic biosecurity on poultry farms

2. Small flocks mean a group of birds raised in small but organized poultry. Biosecurity is a very important task that must be carried out daily like cleaning, medication for broilers and Vaccination for chicken, which reduces early chicken mortality. To keep the poultry clean and wash it properly and daily is the responsibility of poultry producers. Biosecurity is also one of the main responsibilities of an owner of a poultry farm. Biosecurity must be carried out in each poultry mandatorily and the Authorities must undertake strict follow-ups and Unrestricted support. Poultry owners should support the authorities and Fundamentally carry out these processes. Whatever the size of poultry is and the Number of birds that are being taken care of, all the chicks must be kept under the vigil of a caretaker and Biosecurity must be done on time and properly by keeping the ethical point of view about society and the environment. Biosecurity on poultry farm prevents humans from falling sick and Chickens from spreading viruses and getting any diseases or infections. Basic measures of biosecurity are cleaning, washing, and Sanitizing the poultry and all birds properly, especially small flocks because they are weak, small in age, and with a weak immune system.

3. Some operational biosecurity measures are proper decontamination and disinfection of equipment, poultry area, and the chicken coop. All the workers or people who are around flocks should be mandatorily made to use clean clothes, sanitized, avoid touching the chicken without reason and wear a mask in poultry to avoid cross-contamination between humans and Chickens. The people in charge of Poultry management should maintain a record of visitors and their purpose. Poultry farms should not allow visitors or workers inside poultry with outside boots. Instead, they should keep special sanitized boots and jackets with pants which are used only inside the farm. Litter, feathers, carcasses, and manure should be cleaned every 12 hours to keep the hygiene at its best level. The main objective of biosecurity is to prevent the entry of disease and control the spread of disease. This was the basic information about biosecurity for the small flock and adult chickens.
