	Biosecurity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A biosecurity guarantee attempts to ensure that ecologies sustaining either people or animals are maintained.
		US scientific societies to redefine biosecurity largely in terms of "countering terrorism", and not in terms of addressing unintentional man-made threats.
		Unlike biosafety precautions, biosecurity tends to be active; countermeasures include monitoring statistics for patterns which suggest emerging epidemics, ensuring sufficient stockpiles of the appropriate vaccines or other medicines required to contain an outbreak, public health education and alertness, widespread use of sophisticated pathogen detectors.

	Biosecurity protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biosecurity protocol refers to several politically-controversial attempts to unify global biosecurity measures and responses, in a similar manner to a biosafety protocol.
		Although some propose a "Biosecurity Protocol" to extend the Biosafety Protocol to organisms considered weapons (already controlled by UN arms proliferation treaties), others argue this is an inappropriate response to military threats, and argue for a broad biodefense instead.
		As of 2002, the latter view was prevalent in military and scientific circles, the former in NGOs, some UN agencies, and Green Parties.

	Biosecurity: A Vital Key to Poultry Disease Prevention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Biosecurity (a system aimed at protecting poultry flocks from all types of infectious agents), along with coordination and communication between various poultry-producing areas, became the main driving force behind the formation of the Mid-Atlantic Cooperative Extension (MACE) Poultry Health and Management Unit.
		The manual consists of a videotape on biosecurity for poultry, an overview of the principles of biosecurity and disease causation, biosecurity guidelines for various sectors of the poultry industry, cleaning and disinfection procedures, and a list of commonly used disinfectants.
		The term "biosecurity" may not be a common household word but, for millions of poultry and livestock producers, it may spell the difference between health and disease.

	Biosecurity for Agriculture and Food Production
		Biosecurity is a strategic and integrated approach that encompasses the policy and regulatory frameworks (including instruments and activities) that analyse and manage risks in the sectors of food safety, animal life and health, and plant life and health, including associated environmental risk.
		Biosecurity covers the introduction of plant pests, animal pests and diseases, and zoonoses, the introduction and release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their products, and the introduction and management of invasive alien species and genotypes.
		Biosecurity is a holistic concept of direct relevance to the sustainability of agriculture, food safety, and the protection of the environment, including biodiversity.

	Biosecurity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Biosecurity is the exclusion, eradication and effective management of pests and the risks they pose to the economy, environment and human health.
		The threats are biological in origin and directed towards biological processes, so 'biological security' or 'biosecurity' neatly describes the phenomenon of alien organisms struggling to dominate native organisms.
		Biosecurity is probably more important to New Zealand than any other developed country because of our relative isolation.

	Transcript - FSIS Employee Biosecurity Awareness Meeting
		That is why we have taken a multifaceted approach to biosecurity, which includes both short- and long-term strategies that focus on coordination, prevention, preparedness, as well as rapid response.
		For both food safety and biosecurity, we're implementing a very aggressive education and risk communication campaign to expand awareness of our efforts and to maintain the high level of confidence that consumers have in our food safety system.
		Biosecurity is an issue of enormous concern to all of us and to millions of people who depend on the safe, wholesome food every day.

	National Biosecurity Strategy - Biodiversity
		In August 2003, the Biosecurity Council released its Biosecurity Strategy, a product of almost three years work, extensive consultation and a high degree of engagement from the government agencies with responsibilities for biosecurity.
		The Biosecurity Strategy highlights inadequate strategic capability in the biosecurity system, and stressed the need for this capability to be added in a way which is demonstrably "whole of system".
		The new biosecurity structure will allow MAF to take on additional roles, ensure that the full range of biosecurity values are being protected, and better prioritise resources between the range of biosecurity activities.

	BioSecurity At All Levels
		Biosecurity, oddly enough, a word that is not found in the dictionary, involves a comprehensive range of management procedures to limit the introduction of infection into a poultry operation.
		A comprehensive-integrated biosecurity program must be established as a team effort and through a complete understanding of the goals at all levels of the company.
		A comprehensive Biosecurity program for poultry farms incorporates a series of protocols and standard operational procedures aimed to limit or eliminate the risk of exposure to organisms that can affect poultry health and or embarrass food safety measures (Salmonella).

		Biosecurity practices focus on the prevention of introduction of these pathogens to the dairy, and estimates of the risks associated with introduction of different sources of cattle are presented.
		In addition, biosecurity practices also limit the transmission of these pathogens within an infected dairy operation, especially those focused on sick cow management, calving area management, and manure management.

	Biological Diversity in Food and Agriculture
		This includes, for example, the introduction and release of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) and their products, the introduction and spread of invasive alien species, alien genotypes and plant pests, animal pests and diseases and zoonoses (diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans).
		The importance of this led to the adoption of a supplementary agreement to the Convention on Biodiversity, the Cartagena Protocol.
		This trend is expected to continue and should be matched by FAO, building on its already significant range of activities and outputs that address biosecurity, including international instruments, biosafety in relation to GMOs, biosecurity in relation to invasive alien species and closely associated concerns for food, agriculture, fisheries and forestry.

		BIOSECURITY is practiced in the commercial poultry industry, and it simply means to keep your facilities as free from contaminants as possible.

		First, to understand the need for some basic biosecurity, the fancier must realize that without it, they're going to spend more time and money to fix a problem that could have been prevented, than it would have to practice prevention to begin with.
