In this third article we will review the key aspects and critical points that need to be considered when designing a swine transport hygiene protocol for your system.

It is not the strongest, the fastest, or the smartest who survive, but those who are best able to adapt to change.

Not all progress is made through "smart farming." Here's a simple solution that can greatly improve biosecurity between batches of weaned piglets, preventing recirculation of disease.

This article describes what the "ideal" wash station for cleaning animal transport vehicles would look like, with the highest standards.

This article summarizes some of the most important measures illustrated in our infographic video to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 between farm workers while performing their daily tasks at the farm.

Prefabricated rooms or renovated shipping containers can be the first line of defense for external biosecurity, increasing the protection of our farms from the entry of diseases.

Farm biosecurity is key to preventing the entrance of new infections and pig diseases, but human diseases can also be devastating: Covid-19 can put the human teams on our farms at risk.

In this article we share the WHO guidelines for hand hygiene, which is a very important part of the day-to-day on a pig farm as incorrect washing leaves some areas dirty.

Why is achieving efficient transport biosecurity so complicated? In this first article of a series, we will review the different challenges we need to overcome in order to achieve more efficient biosecurity in pig transport vehicles.

Do we clearly understand which are the most effective biosecurity measurements to prevent the transmission of ASF between farms when infection pressure increases? What are the major worries of those producers and veterinarians dealing with outbreaks of the disease over short distances?

What is the disease transmission risk that comes with importing raw materials? Many feed ingredients are produced in China.

An easily performed vehicle traffic analysis can dramatically minimize the risk of cross contamination into your swine facility decreasing potential disease challenges.

An example on how technology can be implemented in a farm for evaluation of biosecurity compliance using production parameters.

Key considerations for the design of biosecure and practical pig loading chutes that will minimize disease transmission during the animal movement process.

We highlight different options for segregation of clean/dirty zones at the personnel entrance into the farm. This is where biosecurity starts. Keeping it simple and easy to follow increases the likelihood of an effective protocol.

Three videos that illustrate how to make an appropriate transition between several key clean and dirty zones.
