Biosecurity
Biosecurity
State Of the Art
- Implementing biosecurity measures on the farm is one of the most important countermeasures to prevent and protect
commercial swine operations, but specific measures need also to be included and integrated in an eradication campaign to prevent further transmission and geographical spread through transport and person-to-person contacts. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be suitable to prevent farm-to-farm virus spread by animal health officials involved in eradication. The main goal of a biosecurity plan is to decrease the probability of infection and significantly reduce the cost associated with losses. A set of zoo-sanitary measures should be put in place to accomplish the goals set by the biosecurity plan. The more measures are implemented, the higher the cost, but warranted in a disease outbreak situation. The OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code (Chapter 15.1. and Chapters 4.3. and 4.4.) provides guidelines
for the establishment of compartments free of ASF
