ASSESSMENT OF BIOSECURITY MEASURES ON COMMERCIAL PIG FARMS

Abstract

Biosecurity, welfare, good manufacturing practice and risk analysis
at critical control points are very important elements for intensive pig production.
Planned application of biosecurity measures is crucial for the protection of pig
health and production success. In order to have an ongoing active relationship with
the existing threats it is recommended to influence the employees’ awareness of
the real need to protect production as a whole. The key to achieving these goals are
prepared biosecurity plans for each specific situation, or a specific pig farm.
