Why biosecurity matters on Cumbrian farms
Diseases can spread rapidly through livestock populations, especially when animals are kept in concentrated numbers. These diseases often come with significant economic and welfare consequences. Good biosecurity minimises the risk of introducing and spreading diseases on your farm. It also helps protect against zoonotic diseases that can affect both animals and humans.
Our biosecurity recommendations include:
- Control movement of animals
- Maintain clean facilities
- Monitor and manage visitors
- Practice good personal hygiene
- Implement vaccination and disease surveillance
- Manage feed and water sources
- Wildlife and pest control
- Disposal of deadstock
Supporting your biosecurity goals
Biosecurity is an ongoing commitment that requires regular review and adjustment. Rowcliffe’s farm animal team can work with you to develop and implement a biosecurity plan that’s tailored to your farm. We can also provide training and resources to ensure your team understands and follows best practices.
By prioritising biosecurity, you’re not just protecting your livestock - you’re investing in the long-term success and sustainability of your farm.
