BIOSECURE

At the 5th edition of Swine Day 2024 in Bucharest, Romania, our consortium partner Stelian Baraitareanu from University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest presented #BIOSECURE project and requested the involvement of stakeholders from the pig industry in our ongoing activities. A big thank you to all organizers and participants for the productive discussions and exciting collaboration opportunities. 🤝

In our latest publication, entitled "Making the invisible visible", we used substances glowing under ultraviolet light to mimic microbiological contamination, and assessed the effectiveness of different interventions aiming at improving #biosecurity compliance in anterooms of #poultry #farms. We argue that the use of this exercise material, perceived as playful and engaging, could be included in the framework of biosecurity training for all stakeholders of the poultry industry.

Last week, we held the first of a series of workshops to discuss community-based approaches to #biosecurity in livestock farms. These workshops, part of the BIOSECURE research project, aim to foster emergence of a shared vision of collective biosecurity for members of the same community. The first workshop brought together a community of actors from the poultry sector in France, and sought to identify shared motivations and collective risk factors to be discussed during the subsequent workshops.

Celebrating One Health Day with this latest episode of the #BIOSECURE Podcast, we talk with Dr. Nelima Ibrahim from the Department of Livestock Services, #Bangladesh, discussing biosecurity in backyard poultry farming.🌍🐔 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/em_TNxd6 #backyardpoultry #biosecurity #onehealth

🎤 If you could swap roles with any Work Package leader of the BIOSECURE project for a day, who would it be? In this quick and fun segment, our WP leaders share their picks and the fun reasons behind them.  Find out who they would choose and why 👇👀

👉 We were glad to have the scientific manager of the BIOSECURE project at our last workshop to discuss our joint efforts in advancing farm-to-fork biosecurity. Together, #HEFARM and #BIOSECURE are creating strong synergies to tackle biosecurity challenges. Through shared activities and innovation, they're promoting safer, healthier practices across the entire farm-to-fork chain. 🐄 Universidad de Alcalá Incarlopsa ICPOR CAT.AL - Cluster Agrifood Lombardia ASRO - Romanian Standards Association Central Institute for Labour Protection - National Research Institute University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest Institut Pasteur SAN JORGE TECNOLOGICAS SL NOVAPTECH INRAE CSIC IRD IMIDRA - Instituto Madrileño de Investigación y Desarrollo Rural, Agrario y Alimentario - COUNTERFOG®

there are no magic solutions for this one. But there is a component that easily stands out: farm biosecurity. through increased biosecurity, advanced farm management and innovative solutions we can make it happen. #FarmBiosecurityChair COST BETTER BIOSECURE

Mascots are more than just fun—they can embody the spirit of our work. We asked our Work Package Leaders what their #mascot would be if their work package had one. Hear how each leader creatively aligns their mascot with the #goals and values of their work package, offering insight into the dynamic #leadership driving their tasks. 🚀👀

Ilias Chantziaras, the scientific manager of the BIOSECURE project represented BIOSECURE at a biosecurity workshop titled "Latest Progress in Biosecurity: Farm to Fork", as part of the HE-FARM project coordinated by the Universidad de Alcalá held in Budapest 🇭🇺. Over two days, the event brought together experts and stakeholders to explore the latest biosecurity solutions and insights into the field’s most pressing challenges. It also provided an opportunity for BIOSECURE and HE-FARM to explore potential collaborations. 🤝 #Biosecure #FarmBiosecurityChair

Proud to announce that the last paper of the thesis of my former PhD-student and current Post doc at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (Utrecht University) has been published. We need to start digging further in the relation between epidemic and endemic diseases and choices made by farmers.
