Introduction: Biosecurity, Protecting our flocks to sustain the supply chain by Cobb-Vantress
Safeguarding animal health is paramount to any country’s economy and food supply. Livestock with a clean health status is the most important requirement a country must have to be competitive in the international market.
There are several emerging and re-emerging animal diseases of concern that affect the adequacy of the food supply for a growing world population and have huge implications for global trade and commerce.
Some industries still face challenges with diseases including:
>>Newcastle Disease (ND),
>>Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD),
>>Salmonellosis,
>>Infectious Bronchitis (IBV), and
>>Infectious Laryngotracheitis (ILT).
At Cobb, we are committed to producing and providing a safe and secure supply of breeding stock to our customers around the world. Components of our biosecurity programs have been certified by independent agencies including:
>>The National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP under auspices of the USDA in the U.S.A.),
>>The Poultry Health Scheme of The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA in the U.K.),
>>The Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (Netherlands), and
>>The National Poultry Health Program of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (PNSA of MAPA in Brazil).
These organizations conduct regular auditing and monitoring of the health programs of our breeding operations.
Regular testing is key to a biosecurity program that has protected our supply chain from disease outbreaks for decades.
