  • Title: An introduction to biosecurity of cattle operations.
    Author: Dargatz DA, Garry FB, Traub-Dargatz JL.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract; 2002 Mar; 18(1):1-5, v. PubMed ID: 12064163.
    Abstract:
    Recent world events have heightened awareness for the need to safeguard our livestock industries from disease agents. Biosecurity is the outcome of all activities undertaken to preclude introduction of disease agents into an animal population. The concepts of biosecurity are not new. Activities directed at ensuring biosecurity include controlling exposure and optimizing resistance. Programs for biosecurity must be individually tailored to specific situations to account for varying risks and perceptions of risk by decision makers. It is important for practitioners to take a holistic approach to disease control, considering the epidemiology of the disease in addition to the available vaccines and therapeutics.
