Layer chicken is the most important input in the poultry business and though they
are fully vaccinated, once mishandled they can still be prone to some bio-security risk
that can affect their production. Infectious diseases and food safety pathogens can
The following are the possible bio-security risk for poultry farms:
Contaminated people
People who visit your poultry farm and enter the production area (including sheds and
free-range areas) can potentially be carriers of disease and food safety pathogens that may

footwear
Visitors can include neighbors, contractors, suppliers, vets, delivery drivers, maintenance
check where your visitors have been and if they have had any contact
keep a visitors log outlining details of visitors' name and date and
provide protective clothing, footwear and hand wash for visitors that
Showering before entry and changing into freshly laundered clothes and farm boots, and
then showering out, is the highest level of protection for poultry production facilities. If visitors
have had recent contact with other poultry, this option should be used.
Vehicles and equipment are a high risk for spreading pathogens. To reduce this risk:
have a designated visitors parking area that is well signed and located
make sure that ALL equipment is cleaned (removing all visible dirt) and
don't allow delivery vehicles to come inside the production area—if this
is necessary such as for feed and gas deliveries, then drivers must
between batches
clean and disinfect egg grading and washing equipment after use.
Wild birds
Wild birds and waterfowl can be carriers of diseases and food safety pathogens, such as
avian influenza and salmonella. Keeping a poultry farm free of wild birds may be difficult.
only plant trees and shrubs that are non-flowering or non-bird attracting
Insects, such as darkling beetles, and rodents can be carriers of infectious diseases and

Other poultry
New birds are the most common way to introduce disease into your flock. To reduce
disease coming in with new birds you can take the following measures.
Have an all-in and all-out policy (single-aged flock). This allows time to
clean and disinfect all housing and equipment before new birds come
in.
Obtain new birds from a reliable supplier of healthy stock and request
vaccination certification.
Only buy young birds, as older birds are more likely to carry disease.

collection vehicle does not enter the production area. Never feed dead
Quarantine new birds from your existing flock for at least 1 month as
you may spread disease from one to the other. Watch for any signs of

there are any signs of illness in your flock, even if the birds you are
Feed and water can also be a source of contamination. Disease carrying rodents or wild
birds may contaminate feed, while droppings and excretions from wild birds or waterfowl may be
the source of contamination for open water sources such as dam, tank and river water.

Air
Having a good buffer distance between other poultry farms and piggeries will help to
reduce any impact from airborne spread of disease. The minimum distance should be at least
1km between other poultry farms and at least 5km from breeder farms.
Planting non-bird attracting trees and shrubs as strategic windbreaks can also act as a
barrier.
CHAPTER IX
A. SOCIAL IMPACT
Proposed business will augment the family’s income to sustain other needs and
to provide fresh farm eggs in their community. Stores within the barangay will not need
to buy from the town market for their supply of eggs since it will be delivered to their
door steps direct from the farm and can repurchase anytime as needed given that it will
be built within the community. It will also encourage and improve social interaction
In addition, once Dawn’s Layer Egg Farm starts its operation, it will need a helper
that will do the chores and will be compensated accordingly. This will at least help
increase the helper’s financial security and is good for his physical and mental health
Poultry business faces a lot of environmental issues especially air pollution from
the chicken manure that attract flies. In order to minimize this if not eliminate, Dawn’s
Layer Egg Farm will have its own septic tank where waste from the poultry house go
directly to maintain its cleanliness. At the end of the year or when full, septic tank will be
