Within the framework of the joint project of the Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) "Animal Health in Ukraine", microbiological monitoring of bacterial pathogens in pigs with determination of antibiotic sensitivity using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method will be conducted for the first time, taking into account the clinical picture.

As part of the Animal Health in Ukraine Project , the Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders with the support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), has compiled a list of 10 companies that will receive advisory assistance in improving biosecurity in 2024.

Animal welfare and sustainable production are the future of domestic livestock farming, and we need to prepare for it today.

In its latest report "Livestock and Poultry: World Markets and Trade" on January 12, USDA recalculated the closing figures for 2023 and its estimates for 2024, forecasting a decrease in world pork production this year, due to lower productions in China, the European Union, and Brazil.
