The Canadian poultry industry is now faced with a higher disease threat from avian influenza than in years past – your best defense is a strict biosecurity program.
Strict biosecurity on farms, with consistent daily implementation, protects your flocks and those of your neighbouring farms.
A physical bench at the barn entry is a best practice and a demonstrated way to improve biosecurity compliance.
Closely monitor feed and water consumption, and immediately consult your veterinarian in cases of unexplained mortality or illness.
Stay away from wild birds and avoid handling any dead wild birds. Instead, report them to the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative, cwhc-rcsf.ca
