USDA Defend the Flock — Farm Biosecurity Principles

USDA's "Defend the Flock" campaign outlines practical biosecurity steps: limiting visitors, dedicated footwear, rodent control, mortality disposal, and reporting sick birds. The programme is widely cited in international poultry audits.

Adopting these principles reduces introduction risk for avian influenza and other pathogens — a priority for Pakistan's expanding commercial sector and for companies supplying disinfectants and protective equipment.
