Abstract

Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the role of biosecurity measures in controlling infectious diseases in poultry farms in Thailand.

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: In Thailand, stringent biosecurity measures are pivotal in curbing infectious diseases in poultry farms. These measures, including controlled farm access, equipment disinfection, waste management, and quarantine protocols for new birds, effectively reduce the incidence and transmission of diseases like avian influenza and Newcastle disease. Government regulations and industry support bolster these efforts, emphasizing collaboration to ensure robust disease prevention. Challenges such as cost constraints and varying compliance levels underscore the ongoing need for innovation and improved practices to safeguard the poultry industry and ensure sustainable production.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Health belief model (HBM), systems theory & social cognitive theory (SCT) may be used to anchor future studies on role of biosecurity measures in controlling infectious diseases in poultry farms in Thailand. Practice-oriented contributions emphasize ongoing training programs for farm workers and stakeholders to ensure effective implementation and compliance with biosecurity protocols. Biosecurity practices contribute to policy development by informing the formulation of regulatory standards and guidelines that mandate minimum biosecurity requirements for poultry farms.
