Breed success, not disease: Animal Health Ireland launches biosecurity week

Campaign aimed at giving key advice to farmers to help make farms more biosecure and keep diseases away

'Biosecurity can sometimes be an afterthought on farms, but the decisions farmers make today can impact their operations and profits for years to come.'

The first-ever national biosecurity week has been announced ahead of the breeding season.

Animal Health Ireland (AHI) is behind the campaign themed ‘Biosecurity 2026: Breed Success, Not Disease’. The event aims to emphasise biosecurity is not just for one week, it is for life and is central to all farm decisions.
