This registration is part of the implementation of the Swine Mobilisation and Traceability Control System.
According to what Mr. Bernardo Jaén (General Director of the SENASA) announced, “these actions are part of the information that our country must have in order to be internationally recognised by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) as a country “free from classical swine fever”.
According to the 2014 Agriculture and Livestock register, there are 14,335 farms with pigs in the country, with an approximate population of 400,000 pigs.
