One health in animal production: biosafety and biosecurity issues

World human population is expected to increase tremendously in forthcoming years. More human meaning more food needed. In addition, concurrent natural disasters such as floods, earthquake, war and crop failure due to environmental changes have put intense extra strains on demand for food. Animals an...
