Aviagen takes health and biosecurity seriously and understands that keeping pathogens out of the food chain begins with the primary breeder. Rigorous biosecurity protocols are in place at all Aviagen facilities and the movement of people, stock and equipment within the production operations is strictly controlled. These procedures ensure that the highest possible health status is maintained. Additionally, our R&D efforts have successfully focused on traits like leg strength, cardiovascular efficiency and disease resistance, traits that improve the general health and welfare of our birds. 

Our monitoring and testing protocols and procedures are the most stringent in the industry. Dedicated veterinary laboratories ensure comprehensive monitoring of health status and control of the risk of infection from disease. A comprehensive and unprecedented monitoring program, encompassing serology, bacteriology and virology testing, ensures the highest health standards and traceability, mostly exceeding the official health certification requirements.
