Ways of Improving Risk Management on Chicken Farms

Abstract

Ways of improving risk management on broiler or egg chicken farms can be evaluated depending on the risk categories in emergency situations and on the components of risk management. Risks can generate biological, natural, social and technological emergency situations. A risk element is any element that can deviate from the strategies, plans and programmes of a chicken farm and allows predicting reality and confronting true achievements with expected results. Achieving the goals of any broiler or egg chicken farm supposes knowing and assuming multiple risks: risk management covers both risk identification and risk reaction. Risk analysis supposes measures for the increase of transparency regarding chicken health safety, supply of experiences and protection within international trade with broiler chickens and eggs or even live chicken. Risk analysis stipulates the improvement of phyto-sanitary measures and it aim at collecting, evaluating and recording information that lead to recommendations, positions, approaches and actions as a response to an identified risk or danger; it is not meant to supply decisions but to support decision-making.
