Biosecurity implementation in poultry farms across Europe and neighboring countries: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Modern poultry production systems inherently concentrate large numbers of birds, which also increases the risk and potential impact of disease outbreaks. Biosecurity is widely recognized as the most important tool for reducing the risk of disease introduction, establishment, and spread to, within, and from an animal population. Thus, effective biosecurity is essential for sustainable poultry production, and assessing its implementation represents a crucial step. This systematic review aimed to evaluate biosecurity implementation in poultry farms across European and neighboring countries.

Methods

The Cochrane Handbook and PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed to perform the systematic review.
