Biosecurity and biocontainment are a series of “best management practices” employed to prevent the movement of infectious agents, such as diseases, insects, or other biological organisms, from entering or leaving a farm or other facility. These agents may threaten plant, animal, and/or human health, food safety, and/or economics and can be naturally occurring or a result of human activity.
