已经开发了Biocheck.UGent评分系统来测量和量化肉鸡养殖场的生物安全水平。该工具由肉鸡养殖场生物安全的所有相关组成部分组成，并细分为外部（购买一日龄雏鸡，将活禽运出农场，提供饲料和水，清除粪便和死禽，接待来访者和人员，提供材料、基础设施和生物病媒，农场地点）和内部（疾病管理、清洁和消毒、材料和隔间之间的措施）生物安全。这一评分系统的独特之处在于，它考虑到不同生物安保方面的相对重要性，从而得出基于风险的加权评分。Biocheck.UGent评分系统和随附问卷可在www.Biocheck.UGent.be上免费填写。在完成调查表后立即提供所获得的生物安保评分，并将每个子类别的评分与国家平均值进行比较，以便农民将所获得的结果作为基准向其同事通报。初步结果（n = 15）显示，比利时肉鸡养殖场的生物安全水平范围很大，内部生物安全评分范围为54/100至87/100，外部生物安全评分范围为55/100至72/100。这些初步结果表明，尽管生物安全的重要性众所周知，但许多生物安全措施缺乏实施，还有改进的余地。
The Biocheck.UGent scoring system has been developed to measure and quantify the level of biosecurity on broiler farms. This tool is composed of all relevant components of biosecurity on broiler farms and is subdivided into external (purchase of 1-d-old chicks, off-farm movements of live animals, feed and water supply, removal of manure and dead birds, entrance of visitors and personnel, supply of materials, infrastructure and biological vectors, location of the farm) and internal (disease management, cleaning and disinfection, materials, and measures between compartments) biosecurity. The unique feature of this scoring system is that it takes the relative importance of the different biosecurity aspects into account, resulting in a risk-based weighted score. The Biocheck.UGent scoring system and accompanying questionnaire can be filled in for free at www.Biocheck.UGent.be. The obtained biosecurity scores are provided immediately after completion of the questionnaire, and the scores for each subcategory can be compared with national averages to allow the farmer to benchmark the obtained results to his colleagues. Preliminary results (n = 15) show a huge range in the biosecurity level on broilers farms in Belgium, with internal biosecurity scores ranging from 54/100 to 87/100 and external biosecurity scores ranging from 55/100 to 72/100. These first results show that despite the well-known importance of biosecurity, there's a lack of implementation of many biosecurity measures and room for improvement.
