This paper provides the first assessment of biosecurity implementation in commercial layer farms in Tanzania comparing it with global benchmarks. Biosecurity implementations were largely influenced by three key factors;
- Education level
- Scale of production
- Farming experience.
These findings indicate that tailored interventions and evidenced-based policies are essential for strengthening biosecurity practices, and potentially enhancing poultry health and productivity in layer farms.
This paper is the result of an ICARS-supported project that intends to reduce antimicrobial use and, therefore, antimicrobial resistance emergence through tailored vaccination and biosecurity regimes in commercial poultry production.
