Present study was aimed to investigate the level of biosecurity information among poultry farmers in Kashmir. Information related to housing, management practices and farm-level biosecurity was collected from 50 broiler farms in a pre-devised proforma through semi-structured interview and personal observations. Descriptive statistics (per cent value) was used for data presentation. Investigation into housing and management revealed ventilation management as critical and challenging task.Semi-structured interview and farm observations revealed that although standard farm practices were followed, the farm-level biosecurity information among the farmers was limited and any concrete plans to the effect were lacking. Even personal protection was not followed to the optimum. Self-medication, lack of disease certification concept and non-observance of antibiotic withdrawal period before disposal, were realized as a great concern.
