What does the standard provide for?
The industry biosafety standard defines a set of measures to prevent the penetration and spread of infections at pig farms. It includes:
- requirements for the sanitation of transport and personnel;
- control over feeding and water supply;
- restrictions on visitors and animal movement;
- requirements for the quarantine zone and measures in the event of a disease outbreak.
Why is it important?
In recent years, Ukraine has repeatedly faced outbreaks of ASF, which have caused major losses to the industry. The introduction of a unified biosafety standard will help companies minimise risks and create a more secure production system.
For more information on the Standard, please visit the website of the Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders.
The Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders is a non-profit, voluntary organisation founded by domestic pork producers. The main goals of the association are to represent and protect the rights and interests of the association's farms, promote the development and implementation of new technologies for efficient pork production, expand sales markets, and protect the domestic market.
