QUESTION
From the health management point of view the flow of on-farm traffic must be directed?
OPTIONS
(A) From youngest to oldest birds
(B) From oldest to youngest birds
(C) With no set pattern
(D) None of these
ANSWER
(A) From youngest to oldest birds
EXPLANATION
For biosecurity, farm traffic should move from the youngest or most susceptible birds toward older birds, minimizing the chance of carrying pathogens from older, potentially exposed groups to younger susceptible groups. Moving from oldest to youngest increases disease-transfer risk, while an unrestricted pattern provides poor biosecurity.
