Conversely, biocontainment measures are aimed at control of disease on infected farms to reduce prevalence and other measures to reduce the likelihood of onward transmission. Although quarantine is one important biocontainment measure, biocontainment is broader than just quarantine and includes a range of other measures, including many of the same activities as for bioexclusion. Specific additional measures include vaccination, culling or treatment of affected animals, selling animals for slaughter only, testing animals prior to sale, disinfection of people and equipment leaving the farm, maintenance of boundary fences, etc.
