Farm Visit & Biosecurity Guidelines

At Usha Poultry and Fisheries, bird welfare, aquatic biosecurity, and pathogen control are our highest operational priorities. Modern intensive poultry operations and freshwater aquaculture ecosystems are vulnerable to external contaminants, avian pathogens, and waterborne diseases.

To safeguard our live bird stocks, fish ponds, and commercial grow-out units, we enforce strict biosecurity protocols. We welcome commercial partners, bulk buyers, and fellow farmers under regulated, pre-approved conditions.

General Visiting Policy

  • No Unscheduled Walk-Ins: To prevent accidental disease introduction, on-farm visits without prior written or verbal confirmation are strictly prohibited.
  • 48-Hour Advance Booking: All farm tours, pickup visits, and technical consultations must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance via phone or WhatsApp.
  • Visiting Days & Hours: Tuesdays to Saturdays, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM (subject to operational schedules, brooding cycles, and seasonal netting).
  • Identification: Visitors must carry valid government identification and register their contact details at the main farm gate.

Pre-Visit Quarantine & Declaration

  • No Prior Bird Contact: Visitors must not have visited another commercial poultry farm, wet live-bird market, or slaughterhouse within the preceding 72 hours.
  • Clean Attire: Visitors must arrive wearing clean, freshly laundered clothing and clean footwear that has not been exposed to other farm yards or contaminated soil.
