This paper considers the main aspects that characterize the requirements of biological safety in poultry. First of all, the rules of keeping birds in cage batteries are indicated, the design features and rules of work on them are shown. Shows what to do and in what sequence, regarding cleaning in cell batteries using appropriate equipment and disinfectants. The peculiarities of keeping poultry on the litter and neutralization of a large amount of ammonia released with the help of appropriate chemicals are considered. A set of special measures is considered – disinfection, deworming, disinsection, deratization, which business entities should carry out for the prevention and treatment of poultry diseases, protection of people from infectious and invasive diseases common to humans and birds, as well as quarantine. The risks that are possible in case of non-compliance with biosafety requirements are shown, namely the risk of disease transmission and the ways in which it is possible, the first way – vertical (transmission of the pathogen through the egg), the second - horizontally (transmission – contact, aerogenic). The rules concerning workers of poultry farms, conditions under which their work on a poultry farm is possible are considered. The requirements of biological safety to the risks when visiting the farm by outsiders are also highlighted, namely what kind of inspection is required to enter the farm and what documents (questionnaires) need to be filled out, the need for appropriate instruction, and the importance. The paper also points out one of the main requirements for farm staff – hygienic procedures (hand washing, use of antiseptics), as well as the division of the farm into appropriate areas of production – sterile and non-sterile, which will avoid cross-contamination. It is also shown that barriers to footwear in industrial premises are an important factor. In summary, we can say that the above conditions are a guarantee of profitability of poultry.
