Several risk factors can increase the likelihood of disease outbreaks in poultry farming:
- High-Density Housing: Crowded living conditions can facilitate rapid disease spread. - Poor Biosecurity: Inadequate measures to prevent the introduction and spread of diseases. - Environmental Factors: Temperature and humidity can affect the survival and spread of pathogens. - Antibiotic Use: Overuse can lead to antibiotic resistance, making diseases harder to treat.
