BookletDeveloping biosecurity checklists to facilitate the progressive adoption of good practices among pig farmers in the United Republic of Tanzania 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This document outlines a checklist on biosecurity for small and medium-scale pig farms in Sumbawanga, Tanzania. It has been developed, tested and validated in a participatory manner with farmers, extension officers and subject matter experts. While part 1 of this document includes the checklist itself, part 2 describes how the checklist has been developed, which might be interest for professionals that are interested to replicate this approach in other countries of livestock systems. This document is part of an effort of the Progressive Management Pathway for Terrestrial Animal Biosecurity (PMP-TAB) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), which is a collaborative, stepwise approach to assessing and managing biological risks, to strengthen biosecurity in terrestrial animal production and associated value chains. -

No results found.Ever since the outbreak in Hong Kong in 1997 of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) caused by H5N1 subtype in poultry and the deaths of six of the infected workers, an unprecedented spread of poultry and human infections by this subtype have occurred from year 2003 to date from South East Asia and China to reach the Middle East, Europe and Africa. This spread is believed to have occurred through migratory wild birds. In Africa, Sudan and Djibouti first reported outbreaks; followed in Februa ry, 2006 by Nigeria and subsequently most countries close to Nigeria have since reported outbreaks. Other subtypes of avian influenza viruses, especially H7N7 and H7N3 that have been reported to have infected humans continue to cause severe disease in many countries of the world with enormous economic and socio-cultural consequences. Further spread in Africa is very likely to occur. Once these outbreaks occur, they pose risks to human infection, disrupt production, marketing, processing and dist ribution of poultry and their products and destabilize livelihoods of vulnerable groups as well as many other socio-economics activities... -
Book (stand-alone)Good biosecurity practices in non integrated commercial and in scavenging production systems in Tanzania

No results found.This report is a review of biosecurity in poultry production systems in Tanzania. It complements a primary report prepared by the National Consultant in July 2007 on the structure and importance of the commercial and village based poultry industry in Tanzania. In that report, distribution of the poultry operations in Tanzania in accordance to the FAO classification system of sectors 1 – 4 was done. The objectives of the present study were to identify areas of possible biosecurity risks in the pr oduction cycle in each of the poultry production sectors, with special emphasis on sectors 3 and 4 in Tanzania. The Report was also intended to be used by the International Poultry Biosecurity Expert in the preparation of Biosecurity Teaching Guidelines…
