Implication

Cross-sectional survey identifies key factors influencing biosecurity in poultry, highlighting education and farm scale.

Key Points

  • Overall biosecurity scores were significantly below global benchmarks, averaging only 58.2.
  • Farms with operators holding secondary and tertiary education had higher biosecurity scores than those with primary education.
  • Experience of over two years positively impacted internal biosecurity practices among farms.
  • Large-scale poultry operations demonstrated better internal biosecurity practices compared to small-scale farms.
