BPC partners with Livetec to strengthen data-driven biosecurity

The British Poultry Council (BPC) has partnered with livestock protection solutions provider, Livetec Systems, to help members embrace the latest biosecurity services for proactive and efficient disease management. 

Building on eight years of collaboration, this new initiative is aimed at further evolving the poultry sector’s approach to efficient and compliant disease prevention, explains Neal Samet, general manager and director at Livetec. 

“With a shared commitment to continuous improvement, we are excited to offer BPC members exclusive discounted access to a comprehensive wrap-around service. This includes cutting-edge digital biosecurity solutions and critical industry support, which has been instrumental in establishing a world-leading depopulation standby service”, says Mr Samet.  

Armed with the support of both organisations, BPC member businesses will be able to strengthen their disease preparedness and streamline operational efficiencies across multiple or individual farms. 

“We want to help the poultry meat sector drive data-informed decision-making – optimising biosecurity practices, delivering improvements in sustainability and enhancing food security across the supply chain.” 

Mr Samet explains digitisation is key to leveraging biosecurity data effectively, and Livetec’s offering, built around the innovative Livestock Protect platform, will help members access advanced systems at reduced rates. 

“For larger organisations, this delivers key value in the form of increased visibility across all sites,” he says. 

He adds: “At this high-risk time for disease transmission, the value of data insights cannot be underestimated for more informed decision-making that helps protect flocks and safeguard the poultry supply chain.” 

Richard Griffith, BPC CEO explains that partnering with Livetec is about empowering members with the tools and expertise to stay ahead of the curve in disease prevention.  

“We want to ensure that biosecurity is a cornerstone of resilience and a competitive advantage for the British poultry meat sector,” he says.
