Biosecurity as the First Line of Defense Against AMR in Dairy Farm

Biosecurity is a cornerstone of disease prevention and antimicrobial stewardship in modern dairy farming. Effective biosecurity measures reduce pathogen transmission, lower the incidence of infectious diseases, and decrease the need for antimicrobial use, helping to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This webinar explores practical biosecurity strategies for dairy farms, including animal movement control, quarantine protocols, hygiene and sanitation, milking hygiene, vaccination, environmental management, and surveillance. The session also highlights the veterinarian's role in implementing farm-specific biosecurity plans and promoting responsible antimicrobial use. Participants will gain practical insights into integrating biosecurity into everyday herd health management to improve productivity and support sustainable dairy production.
