five major categories of measures for
controlling biological risks in the laboratory.
Risk Mitigation
preventing the introduction of a new pathogen to livestock premises
Bio-exclusion/External Biosecurity
reduce the risk of disease exposure and transmission.
goal of a biosecurity plan
increase the animal’s ability to resist disease
Bio-exclusion/External Biosecurity
reduce the spread of disease among animals on premises already contaminated
with a pathogen
Bio-management/Internal Biosecurity
minimize the number of contacts that result in disease
Bio-management/Internal Biosecurity
