Biosecurity ni mfumo wa hatua za kuzuia magonjwa kuingia farm, kusambaa ndani ya farm na kutoka farm kwenda maeneo mengine. Ni mfumo wa tabia za kila siku, si footbath pekee.

Gawa farm katika zones

Dirty zone ni eneo la nje: barabara, parking, visitors na delivery. Transition zone ni sehemu ya kubadilisha viatu/nguo na kunawa. Clean zone ni eneo la pigs na feed handling. Kadiri unavyopunguza crossing kati ya zones, ndivyo biosecurity inavyokuwa rahisi.

Visitor control

Visitors waingie kwa sababu maalum, waandikwe, na waulizwe kama wametoka farm nyingine, pig market au slaughter point. Wape farm boots/overalls. Visitor anayekataa basic rules asitembelee pens.

Footbath

Footbath ifanye kazi kwa kuwa boots zimeondolewa matope kwanza. Solution ibadilishwe ikichafuka na iwe concentration sahihi. Tray yenye maji machafu ya wiki nzima ni ishara ya biosecurity, si biosecurity yenyewe.

Quarantine

New animals wakae tofauti muda unaofaa kulingana na disease risk na veterinary plan. Wafanyiwe observation na health procedures zinazopendekezwa kabla ya kuingia herd. Quarantine iwe na feeder, drinker na tools zake. Worker aitembelee baada ya herd kuu ikiwa hakuna staff tofauti.

Vehicle control

Feed truck, pig buyer na manure vehicle zisiwe na sababu ya kuingia clean zone. Tengeneza loading bay karibu na perimeter. Ikiwa vehicle lazima iingie, cleaning/disinfection protocol iwe wazi.

Feed control

Feed store ifungwe dhidi ya panya, ndege na pigs. Ingredients kutoka source mpya zikaguliwe. Bags zilizokuwa kwenye floor ya slaughter point au pig market zisiingizwe feed store.

Rodent na wild animal control

Panya huharibu feed na kubeba pathogens. Funga holes, safisha spilled feed, weka traps/bait stations kwa usalama na ondoa vichaka vinavyotoa maficho karibu na store. Usiruhusu dogs/wild pigs kuingia pens.

Dead animal disposal

Carcass isibebwe wazi kupitia clean area. Disposal ifuate sheria na maelekezo ya veterinary/local authority. Chaguo linaweza kuwa burial, incineration au mfumo ulioidhinishwa kulingana na cause of death na mazingira. Usitupe carcass mtoni, porini au dampo lisilodhibitiwa.

Daily checklist

Weekly checklist

Kagua rodent signs; clean/disinfect movable tools; audit visitor log; kagua fence; safisha loading area; kagua quarantine pen; kagua feed store moisture; thibitisha disinfectant stock na expiry.

Monthly checklist

Review health records, mortality, unusual treatments na sources za new stock. Fanya staff refresher ya biosecurity. Kagua drainage, repairs, pest control plan na emergency contacts. Angalia kama rules zinafuatwa kweli au zimebaki karatasi ukutani.
