What is NOT typically associated with biosecurity practices?

Improving herd quality is not typically associated with biosecurity practices. Biosecurity primarily focuses on implementing measures to prevent the introduction and spread of infectious diseases within an animal population. This includes strategies such as quarantine protocols for new animals, sanitation procedures to maintain cleanliness and reduce pathogens, and other preventive measures designed to create a barrier against disease transmission.

While improving herd quality can be an important goal in agricultural practices, it is more closely aligned with selective breeding, nutrition management, and overall husbandry practices rather than the specific measures of biosecurity. Biosecurity practices are more about protecting the existing herd from diseases rather than enhancing their genetic or overall quality.
