National Manual i
This National Farm Biosecurity Manual for Poultry Production was produced by a Biosecurity
Consultative Group (BCG), established as a resolution of the 2007 Government–Industry Avian
Inuenza Forum. Membership of the group included representatives from each of the following
organisations and poultry industry sectors and their involvement in and contributions to the
development of this manual are gratefully acknowledged:

Australian Chicken Meat Federation Inc.
Australian Chicken Growers’ Council
Australian Egg Corporation Limited
Australasian Turkey Federation
Free Range Egg and Poultry Australia
Australian Duck Meat Association
Emu Industry Federation of Australia
Australian Ostrich Association

ii National Manual
The purpose of the manual is to establish a minimum set of biosecurity standards, applicable to all
poultry producers (including ratites). While the manual was produced with commercial producers
in mind, the principles of good biosecurity apply to any poultry or bird-raising operation.
Individual producers and companies may wish to develop enhanced biosecurity manuals, which
should nevertheless incorporate these minimum standards in addition to any specic company
or industry sector requirements.
In the context of this manual, the following denition of poultry is adopted to dene the
meaning of poultry:
‘Poultry’ means chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, ducks, geese, quails, pigeons,
pheasants, partridges, ostriches and emus reared or kept in captivity.
The manual applies to poultry enterprises from the time of delivery of birds, until pick-up, slaughter
or disposal of live birds. While the manual stipulates the minimum requirements for any poultry
farm, it should be noted that biosecurity measures in place on breeder farms would generally be
much more stringent, reecting the economic importance and the extended life cycle of breeder
ocks. The pick-up of birds and transport to the processing plant is covered in Appendix 10.
At the second Government–Industry Avian Inuenza Forum held in Canberra on 11 June
2008, a draft Generic Farm Biosecurity Manual was presented to industry and jurisdictional
representatives. It was agreed that the manual lled an important gap and should be adopted
by all industry sectors as the base document upon which sector specic manuals should be
developed. The sector specic manuals must, as a minimum, satisfy the requirements stipulated
in this generic manual but may provide more specic guidance or additional requirements that
reect the characteristics of the industry sector.
National Manual iii
Implementation is the responsibility of each poultry industry sector and several industry associations
have already commenced adapting the generic manual to their specic operational circumstances
and requirements. The adoption of the new Primary Production and Processing Standard (PPPS)
for Poultry Meat, currently being nalised by Food Standards Australia New Zealand and to be
implemented over the coming years by all states and territories, presents a good opportunity
to promote adoption of the biosecurity standards set out in this manual. While the biosecurity
requirements in this manual are in some areas broader than strictly required from a food safety
point of view, it is the group’s expectation that adoption of the measures stipulated in this manual
will meet the PPPS requirements for the production phase.
Ratites are not covered by the poultry PPPS. Biosecurity requirements in that sector are largely
mandated by the requirements of its export markets.
The egg industry has a Code of Practice for Biosecurity (Grimes and Jackson, Rural Industries
Research and Development Corporation, 2001), which is currently the industry standard with
respect to biosecurity. This standard was used to develop the third party auditable EggCorp
Assured™ program (ECA), which also includes food safety, environmental and welfare operating
practices. In order to implement the objectives of this National Farm Biosecurity Manual, the
egg industry will incorporate the objectives and ensure that requirements of this manual are
incorporated into the ongoing development of these aforementioned documents.
In general, implementation of this manual relies on each poultry industry sector achieving the
objectives as indicated. The development of sector specic practices is fundamental to the success of
improved biosecurity for the entire poultry industry. It is acknowledged that each production system
will have a different spectrum of biosecurity challenges and operating environments, which must be
addressed with relevant approaches based upon the objectives identied within this manual.

Objectives
to prevent the introduction of infectious disease agents to poultry•
to prevent the spread of disease agents from an infected area to an uninfected area•
to minimise the incidence and spread of microorganisms of public health signicance•
Biosecurity and quarantine are integral parts of any successful poultry production system. Biosecurity
refers to those measures taken to prevent or control the introduction and spread of infectious agents
to a ock. Such infectious agents, whether they cause clinical or subclinical disease, signicantly
reduce the productivity, protability and long term nancial viability of a poultry operation.
Biosecurity is about managing risk to meet the objectives stated above. It is essential that a risk
assessment be conducted for each enterprise to establish what level of risk exists in each phase of
its operations and to identify and implement control measures appropriate to these levels of risk.
This manual identies areas of risk common to most poultry enterprises and appropriate measures
to minimise these risks. When undertaking the risk assessment underpinning the farm-specic
biosecurity measures, it is important to take into account all factors that may impact on the biosecurity
of the production area. These factors should include the species of bird being produced, location and
layout of property and production area, source of water supply, disease status of the district, proximity
to other production areas with avian species, presence and type of wildlife, and interface with the
organisations and/or individual clients that are being supplied. These interactions include bird pick-ups,
servicemen, industry personnel, contractors and deliveries of day-old chicks and feed.
An additional element in the prevention of introduction and spread of disease is the use of
vaccination. The manual does not cover this aspect but the importance of an appropriate
vaccination strategy is acknowledged, and vaccination as a possible risk management measure
should form part of the overall biosecurity assessment and strategy.
The purpose of the manual is to establish a minimum set of biosecurity guidelines, applicable to
all poultry producers (including ratites) from hatcheries to the point of delivery at the processor.
Commercial enterprises which raise poultry for egg production or for human consumption, or for
the purposes of breeding these poultry, fall within the scope of this manual.
Individual producers and companies may wish to develop enhanced biosecurity manuals, which
should nevertheless incorporate these minimum standards in addition to any specic company
or industry sector requirements.
A biosecurity self audit/auditable checklist for continuous improvement is attached as Appendix 9.
This document may also form the basis for either second or third party audits where this is required.
Biosecurity is like any other insurance policy and as such it is a prudent investment.
