Food Safety starts at the farm – at the very beginning of the food chain. Healthy animals and quality crops are pre-requisites for the production of safe and wholesome food.
Modern farming regimes rely on a knowledge-intensive production process with a high degree of efficiency and professional management. Modern farming also requires high standards of hygiene with a particular focus on infection control and the prevention of cross contamination. For the farmer, tailored bio-security and hygiene solutions are vital for a farm’s sustainable success.
With its motto “Prevention is better than cure”, the European Union’s new Animal Health Strategy (2007–2013) explicitly endorses higher levels of farm hygiene as a key driver to public health, food safety, more sustainable farming practices and animal welfare. Preventive hygiene is not only better than cure; it is also proven to be a lot cheaper.
