Antimicrobial use is under debate, and it is becoming standard practice in the animal production industry to implement thorough biosecurity plans to prevent the spread of pathogenic micro-organisms. This book provides a wealth of practical information on the application of biosecurity measures in both farm and companion animal settings.
