Dr. Máté Farkas, PhD student at the Institute of Food Chain Science, conducted an epidemiological assessment of large-scale poultry farms in Hungary, focusing on the relationship between avian influenza outbreaks with zoonotic potential and disease control measures. The research revealed that the biosecurity level directly impacts the frequency of avian influenza outbreaks. Farms with better disease control practices are less likely to be affected by outbreaks. Regular auditing not only helps to improve the current disease control situation but also shapes farmers’ attitudes toward disease control. M. Farkas, L. Könyves, Sz. Csorba, Zs. Farkas, Á.
