Study looks at how using lasers on free-range layer farms deters wild birds that might have the virus from visiting and contaminating the free-range area
The use of lasers could be an effective way to prevent avian influenza from being introduced into free-range poultry flocks, according to a study.
Speaking during the International Egg Commission webinar, AI Prevention and Innovative Biosecurity Measures -- How the Dutch Egg Industry is Tackling AI, Dr. Armin Elbers, senior epidemiologist at Wageningen University and Research, noted that several different studies have shown that poultry on free-range layer farms have a higher risk of infection from contact with water or soil in the free-range area contaminated by feces from infected wild birds than layers who are kept inside.
