    The purpose of biosecurity is to create a barrier against disease-causing agents and other threats by minimizing the transport of biological organisms and external threats to livestock holdings. This research was carried out to reveal the current biosecurity practices of dairy cattle farms in Bursa. In the study, the farms and districts with 20 heads and above in Bursa province, which is registered in the Türkvet and herd book-program database were determined. The farms in five districts (Mustafakemalpaşa, Yenişehir, Karacabey, Nilüfer, Osmangazi) that are suitable for this purpose are grouped according to their animal number. The farms taken into consideration were divided into three layers as those with 20-50, 51-100, and >101 head cattle. The farms were determined and the farms within the population size were chosen and visited randomly by stratified sampling method. In the survey, questions were asked to reveal information about breeders, herd management practices, animal purchase and quarantine, competence in biosecurity, equipment, hygiene and health protection practices. In this context, although there is no difference in terms of districts in terms of quarantine application for buying animals, application of biosecurity rules and disinfection of equipment after use, the difference is significant in terms of farm size (P<0.05). In terms of keeping regular health records, the differences between districts and farm size are important (P<0.05). According to the χ2 analysis, there was no difference between the districts in terms of the reasons for not using biosecurity practices in the size of the farms. It was determined that some of the breeders understood the meaning of the concept of biosecurity, but they acted reluctantly by putting forward different reasons at the point of application

    Evaluation on biosecurity practices of dairy farms in Bursa province -II
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2022-04-04) Yılmaz, Şehri; Koyuncu, Mehmet; Ziraat Fakültesi; Zootekni Bölümü; 0000-0003-0379-7492
    Biosecurity is focused on reducing, preventing, and minimizing the spread of animal diseases or pests on a farm. Biosecurity action plans need to be considered mainly in farms where disease agents can be carried by various sources such as workforce, consultants, substitute cattle, consumables, feedstuffs, and vehicles. The concept of biological risk management recognizes that animal diseases cannot be completely eliminated, but that producers can manage disease risk through effective control measures. In the study, the farms and districts with 20 heads and above in Bursa province, which are registered in the Türkvet and herd book-program database were determined. The farms in these five districts (Mustafakemalpaşa, Yenişehir, Karacabey, Nilüfer and Osmangazi) are grouped according to their number of animals. The farms are divided into three layers: 20-50 head, 51-100 and >101 head cattle. The farms were determined and the farms within the population size were chosen and visited randomly by stratified sampling method. During the farms’ visits, questions were asked to reveal the border security of the farms, animal movements, applications for visitors and the protection of feed and water resources. There is no awareness at this point in the districts, especially in the questioning about animal mobility, especially about the transport vehicles and their drivers. It has been revealed that the necessary care is not taken to clean the vehicles in which the animals will be transported beforehand, that there are no other animals or equipment in the vehicles, or that the vehicle driver does not enter the shelters. Although some farms have generally protective approaches, it has been found that basic biosecurity measures are rarely used and these measures are not applied to all visitors to the same extent.
