The most important failures in obtaining required level of biosecurity on dairy and pig farms, based on selected indicators are given in this paper. These indicators are include farm biosecurity level estimation, isolation level, newly acquired animals introduction into the herd, estimation of herd health, employees attitude towards equipment, in-farm traffic, visitors regime, feed safety and watering, manure management, dead animals removal, sanitation, etc. According presented, achieved biosecurity level is mostly satisfying, but there is a lot of critical points on technological chain where infective agents could penetrate and compromise production, especially at dairy farms. Generally, biosecurity concept fragments are present, as well as lack of explicit instructions for everyday work. Assessment of reached biosecurity level based on presented indicators should be routine pattern to scrutinize actual farm situation, indicating the way to act in future. Instructions and by laws concerning biosecurity issues must be clearly defined, consistently and systematically applied, and achieved results analyzed.
