Biosecurity measures for prevention and control of Salmonella in poultry farms
Biosecurity measures in poultry farms are essential for maintaining animal health and
welfare. Developing and implementing daily biosecurity protocols on farms reduce the
entry of pathogenic microorganisms which can have direct impacts on the production
processes. One of the most challenging zoonotic diseases to control in poultry flocks is
salmonellosis. Poultry is considered an important reservoir of Salmonella, with poultry
meat and eggs being the most common sources of salmonellosis infection in humans.
Salmonella can be transmitted horizontally through contaminated environments and
vertically from parent flocks to their offspring. Strict biosecurity protocols, together with
effective immunoprophylactic measures, are an alternative for prevention and control of
the disease. Salmonella is widespread globally and is particularly endemic in livestock
farming regions. Its control strategies should address the entire chain, from meat
production to storage, i.e. "from farm to table". This review paper aims to provide an
overview of biosecurity implementation and evaluation in poultry farming worldwide,
while also exploring potential barriers and reasons for its non-implementation.This work was supported by the Provincial Secretariat for higher education and scientific research, AP Vojvodina

Implementation of biosecurity measures according to legislation in intensive poultry production: An overview across 22 EU and non-EU countries
Biosecurity implementation in poultry production is essential for maintaining flock health and preventing diseases. Regulatory frameworks play a key role in standardising biosecurity practices and ensuring compliance
among stakeholders. However, there is limited information on how biosecurity measures (BMs) are legally
enforced across different European countries. This study aimed to identify which BMs are mandated by legislation and/or other regulatory frameworks in 22 EU and non-EU countries for intensive poultry production.
Using a participatory approach involving poultry experts from these 22 countries, data collection and validation
were conducted through a questionnaire covering eleven biosecurity categories and comprising 56 BMs. The
survey was carried out between December 2022 and December 2023. The number of BMs mandated by legislation for all poultry species varied considerably across countries. Turkey (52), Ukraine (46), and Slovakia (38)
had the highest numbers, whereas Denmark, Sweden, and Finland had none. The most regulated BMs included
rodent control programs, cleaning and disinfection after each production cycle, and physical or natural farm
barriers. Conversely, the least regulated BMs included farm-exclusive personnel and external silo loading, with
no regulations concerning keeping other farm animals, poultry species, or pets. Broiler and layer farming were
subjected to more compulsory BMs than other poultry species. Additionally, twelve countries reported BMs under
other regulatory frameworks, with Serbia (55), Turkey (53), and Poland (49) having the highest numbers, while
Sweden (27), Finland (26), and Norway (25) had the lowest. The most regulated BMs included designated
clothing and footwear, hygiene locks, and clean house surroundings. The least regulated BMs were related to silo
loading, manure collection, and a parking area outside the farm. There was considerable variation in the number
and type of BMs mandated by legislation across countries, likely influenced by each country’s perceived disease
risk. These findings highlight the importance of establishing a harmonized biosecurity framework at the European level to address regulatory heterogeneity and enhance disease prevention in poultry production.This research work was funded and conducted within COST Action
