On-farm biosecurity is critical in protecting the health of livestock, poultry, and crops, safeguarding the food supply, and maintaining the economic stability of Ontario’s agricultural sector. Diseases and pests can travel easily on people, vehicles, equipment, and even clothing, making every visitor and activity on a farm a potential risk. By following strong biosecurity measures, farmers can protect their animals, crops, livelihoods, and communities from costly and potentially devastating outbreaks.

Good biosecurity ensures the agricultural sector remains productive, sustainable and safe for generations to come.
