Legal database of infectious diseases prevention in goose industry

Currently, there are a number of regulations governing the activities of poultry farms in general. The activity of goose-breeding farms implies the conduct of veterinary measures, which differ from the activities of poultry farms of other bird species. It is related with the presence of diseases inherent in this species of bird, as well as with the physiological features of waterfowl. However, in the existing regulatory documents and the system of recommendation documents of the agro-industrial complex, these features are not always taken into account, which may affect the effectiveness of the preventive anti-epizootic measures being carried out. We have studied the legal database governing the work and veterinary service of goose-breeding farms in the Russian Federation: recommendations, rules and instructions for the prevention and control of the most common infectious diseases of geese. According to the research, it was revealed that goose-breeding poultry farms have to independently organize a system of biological safety of the geese farms, since there is no modern unified effective system of the prevention of diseases in geese. There is a need to improve and finalize the current legal database of infectious diseases prevention in industrial goose breeding.
