Control measures applied to an infected premise

In Australia the most common unit at which these measures would be applied is the farm. A farm is generally one enterprise at a single location though it may cover a large area and have large numbers of animals of multiple species. In other areas of the world it may be more logical to think of a village or some other unit. A unit is likely to be a relatively small area where animals can co-mingle during feeding or management.
