Biosecurity Project: Animal Production Academic Chair

Industry/Academic Collaboration Supports Animal Health, Biosecurity Training

The Animal Production Biosecurity Academic Chair is an industry/academic collaboration to further biosecurity training and research. CID LINES, an Ecolab Company, collaborated with Faculty of Ghent University Veterinary Medicine, Belgium, to create the position.

The initiative focuses on biosecurity measures that keep animals healthy, including One Health topics such as antimicrobial use. The data gathered in this project is creating a strong foundation for biosecurity training across sectors.

The Importance of Biosecurity in Animal Production

Biosecurity is key to preventing the introduction and spread of epidemic and transboundary diseases. This includes African Swine Fever and avian influenza, which can have devastating impacts on the production chain of a farm. Likewise, biosecurity is crucial in preventing zoonotic infections such as Campylobacter and Salmonella. Taking a preventative approach in animal production addresses not only animal health but the accompanying economic consequences of infected animals.

The Animal Production Biosecurity Academic Chair focuses on using biosecurity data, research and training to create meaningful outputs that will contribute to more sustainable and resilient practices in agriculture.


Farm to Fork and OneHealth

Farm to Fork and OneHealth play an important role in guiding the future of animal health. Watch these videos to find out why they are meaningful to farmers and the industry at large.

Farm to Fork

Farm to Fork focuses on the idea that animal production impacts human health. Cleaning and disinfection, water treatment, and animal/personal/transport hygiene are key to biosecurity and have significant benefits inside and outside the farm.

OneHealth

OneHealth makes a link among the health of animals, people and planet. If we improve animal health, it has a positive impact on human health and supports environmental sustainability.
