Abstract

Strengthening biosecurity in livestock production is essential for mitigating disease outbreaks, reducing economic losses, and promoting environmental sustainability. Effective biosecurity measures prevent the introduction and spread of pathogens, leading to improved herd health, reduced veterinary costs, and enhanced productivity. From an economic perspective, implementing robust biosecurity protocols minimizes financial risks associated with diseaserelated losses and enhances market access for livestock products. Environmentally, biosecurity practices contribute to sustainable farming by reducing antibiotic use, lowering waste production, and preventing the spread of zoonotic diseases. This paper explores the economic and environmental benefits of biosecurity in livestock production, emphasizing its role in fostering resilient and sustainable agricultural systems.
