Poultry Biosecurity: It’s Critical. It’s Expensive. It is Manageable!
In North America alone, the combined economic impact of breast meat myopathy and salmonella-related losses account for a staggering amount of more than $4.7 Billion. Every. Single. Year.
These challenges, fueled by the increasing demand for efficient poultry production, expose the cracks in traditional management systems. Myopathies like woody breast and white striping compromise product quality, while biosecurity lapses heighten disease risks. Tackling these issues is not just about protecting profits—it’s about revolutionizing how data, technology, and proactive strategies shape the future of poultry farming.
Biosecurity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the frontline defense against billion-dollar threats to poultry farming. From preventing disease outbreaks like Salmonella to minimizing conditions that exacerbate myopathies, effective biosecurity safeguards the entire supply chain.
Each breach, whether from pathogens or improper handling, risks cascading losses: compromised animal welfare, reduced product quality, and regulatory penalties. With advanced monitoring and data-driven insights, producers can identify vulnerabilities before they escalate, turning biosecurity from a reactive necessity into a proactive, strategic advantage for sustainable growth.
Understanding The Challenges in Poultry Biosecurity
Poultry farming operates in a delicate balance, where biosecurity challenges loom large while facing relentless biosecurity threats, with real-world consequences that illustrate the stakes.
Salmonella continues to be a persistent threat that not only jeopardizes flock health but also risks human safety, leading to costly recalls, penalties, and damaged reputations. In 2019, a multi-state Salmonella outbreak linked to raw chicken caused over 100 hospitalizations, spotlighting how one weak link can ripple through the supply chain.
Meanwhile, Breast Meat Myopathies—like Spaghetti Meat, Woody Breasts, and White Striping—result from rapid growth demands and create economic losses through downgraded meat quality. Some ominous estimates suggest that 5-10% of broiler chickens are affected by these conditions.
These challenges thrive in uncontrolled environments lacking proper environmental control, feed quality, and monitoring systems.
Addressing these issues requires innovative tools that provide visibility, traceability, and control at every stage of the production cycle while providing a shift from reactive fixes to a proactive, data-driven approach that integrates biosecurity and animal welfare into every layer of operations.
