Abstract
Bio-security implies to a series of comprehensive strategies and rules to mitigate and curb spreading of diseases as well as to safeguard the life and health of flora and fauna with other environmental risks associated with it. With the changing world order and climate change, it has become very essential to check the pathogens at every check point to prevent pandemic situations like Covid-19. The application of these strategies and set of rules are very critical at regional, national and international level to prevent trans-boundary diseases also. In addition to that, bio-security at farm levels guarantees the food safety down the line and prevents any health hazards.
