BIOSECURE (2022 – 2026) project aims to enable decision makers in livestock farming to understand, prioritise and implement evidence-based, cost-effective, and sustainable biosecurity management systems.

This project is coming to a close at the end of the Year when they will be publishing their findings. In the mean time you can read their recent publications below:
