Keeping Flocks Healthy |
| Vaccination and farm hygiene and biosecurity are the most important strategies that the meat chicken industry adopts to keep flocks healthy. For poultry diseases caused by viruses, they are the only useful strategies. Increasingly, the emphasis in the industry’s flock health program is on prevention rather than treatment. |
