Recent events in the UK and Worldwide have highlighted the need for livestock farmers to review all aspects of their biosecurity programs. It is not only the large outbreaks of disease such as Foot and Mouth Disease that can cause financial losses. More often, it is the chronic losses caused on a day to day basis by poor hygiene causing disease and poor growth performance.
It is not only on intensive rearing operations where these issues can arise. Poor biosecurity also has a negative effect on growers and dairy operations where any illness can reduce performance.
Drinking water supplied to livestock is often untreated, and subject to contamination from a number of sources. Many farms use a bore-hole water supply, and while these often provide a cheap and reliable source of water, unless they are treated appropriately, high levels of bacterial contamination can often be introduced. Even when water is supplied clean from the mains, it may be stored for many days in less than ideal conditions.
