PRACTICES OF BIOSECURITY MEASURES AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES ON POULTRY FARMS IN ABIDJAN DISTRICT

In Côte d'Ivoire, poultry farming is an important source of income for many people. However, the industry faces many health constraints that cause enormous economic losses. Since implementation of biosecurity measures is known to reduce the risk of disease transmission, the aim of this study is...
