| dc.description.abstract | Biosecurity is an essential component of modern cattle farming, preventing the introduction
and spread of infectious disease which has not only an impact on animal health, but also on
farm productivity and economic sustainability.
This thesis evaluates biosecurity measures on Austrian dairy and beef farms using the
Biocheck.UGent survey, which is a risk-based tool designed to quantify biosecurity practices.
The results of the survey were analyzed and compared to the world average to identify strengths,
weaknesses and areas for improvement. | en_US |
