Hygiene and biosecurity in livestock farming are crucial aspects for animal welfare and production efficiency, as well as for addressing global health challenges. This study focuses on how the consistent application of appropriate hygiene and sanitary measures can prevent and limit the onset of major health issues in the cattle sector. It begins by evaluating key farm-level risk factors associated with hygiene and facility management—and the conditions that can lead to specific diseases—before examining prevention strategies, including the role of the farmer. Indeed, the proper implementation and effectiveness of hygiene protocols rely heavily on the "human factor": operator responsibility and the adoption of rigorous control and monitoring systems make it possible to shift farm management from a curative approach to a preventive one.
L’igiene e la biosicurezza in zootecnia rappresentano degli aspetti particolarmente rilevanti per il benessere animale, l’efficienza produttiva e per rispondere alle sfide sanitarie globali. Il presente lavoro si focalizza sull’analisi di come l'applicazione costante di adeguate misure igienico-sanitarie possa prevenire e limitare l'insorgenza delle principali problematiche sanitarie nel settore bovino. Verranno prima valutati i principali fattori di rischio aziendali legati all’igiene e alla gestione delle strutture e ciò che può comportare l’insorgenza di particolari patologie; successivamente, saranno esaminate le strategie di prevenzione coinvolgendo anche il ruolo dell’allevatore. La corretta applicazione e l’efficacia dei protocolli igienici, infatti, dipende molto dal “fattore umano”: la responsabilità dell'operatore e l'adozione di rigorosi sistemi di controllo e monitoraggio, permettono di trasformare la gestione aziendale da una logica di cura a una di prevenzione.

Abstract
Hygiene and biosecurity in livestock farming are crucial aspects for animal welfare and production efficiency, as well as for addressing global health challenges. This study focuses on how the consistent application of appropriate hygiene and sanitary measures can prevent and limit the onset of major health issues in the cattle sector. It begins by evaluating key farm-level risk factors associated with hygiene and facility management—and the conditions that can lead to specific diseases—before examining prevention strategies, including the role of the farmer. Indeed, the proper implementation and effectiveness of hygiene protocols rely heavily on the "human factor": operator responsibility and the adoption of rigorous control and monitoring systems make it possible to shift farm management from a curative approach to a preventive one.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
