Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders within the framework of the technical assistance project ‘Ensuring Animal Health in Ukraine’ with the support of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has developed the Sectoral Biosafety Standard for pig farms. It is based on the identification of hazards for pig farms and measures to counteract risk factors.
The standard describes the minimum requirements for the biosecurity system of pig farms and best practices for their implementation. It is designed as a tool that can be used to translate biosecurity requirements into standard operating procedures and instructions.
The end result of implementing the Standard is to ensure a comprehensive approach to protecting pig farms, reducing the risk of disease spread and ensuring the sustainable development of the industry.
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.
