“We have re-introductions of diseases in some of our farms every year, so something must be able to improve biosecurity...our plan is to evaluate all 1,220 farms that we consult”
Dr. Kristian Havn is a swine veterinary practitioner with the Porcus practice in Denmark who has pioneered an innovative programme to improve biosecurity on the swine farms that he advises. In English, the programme’s name translates at Pathogen Stop. Its basis is an online survey form completed by the veterinarian in consultation with the farmer. The original idea was to make a system for evaluating biosecurity at farm level regarding PRRS virus, Dr. Havn explains in this podcast. But it has been extended to cover all pathogens, including APP, swine influenza, mycoplasma and even African swine fever.
