Pig farm biosecurity, since African swine fever entered China, these words have become hot words in the pig industry. On the one hand, the implementation of biosecurity operations will increase the cost of pig raising, especially in the case of sluggish pig prices, on the other hand, the biosecurity effect is invisible and intangible, and can not be directly reflected in the scene, so many pig bosses are not interested in these operations. However, the practice of large pig farms has shown that the implementation of biosecurity operations will reduce the incidence of disease in the farm. Today, let's talk about how to implement biosecurity to reduce the risk of African swine fever infection in pig farms.
1. Strict disinfection.
* The scale is generally small, and the materials required in the breeding process are relatively small, so it is necessary to be meticulous and strict when disinfecting all kinds of materials entering the field. Secondly, it is also very important to choose the right disinfectant and disinfection method, which will not be introduced in detail here, if you are interested, you can look at my previous article, which has a detailed introduction. Pig farm biosecurity - disinfection.
2. Wildlife control.
Because the pig farm has a lot of feed and leftovers, it has become a "paradise" for wild cats, wild dogs, snakes and rats, mosquitoes and flies, etc., where they can eat and drink, and they are very easy to gather. Although these wild animals are not infected with ASF, they are carriers of the virus, and who can guarantee that a feral cat has not eaten a pork infected with ASF before coming to your farm.

3. Personnel control.
* Personnel control is much looser than that of pig enterprises. Therefore, this aspect needs to be controlled, whether it is hiring people to raise pigs or raising pigs themselves, when entering the pig farm, try to take a bath and change clean clothes. Avoid crowded areas, especially markets and supermarkets where there is raw pork. If conditions permit, a shower room can be built, and the people entering the field must bathe and change clothes through the passage before they can touch the pigs.
4. Vehicle control.
The probability of vehicles carrying non-plague viruses is very high, especially after rain and snow, haze days, ** what needs to be done is to prohibit all social vehicles from entering the pig farm.
5. Feed control.
On the one hand, try to find big brands or feed companies with their own pig farms, they will minimize the risk when producing, after all, their own pig farms also eat their own feed. On the other hand, try to install the feed tower, do not use bag feeding, so that the feed comes out of the field directly to your own feed tower, and there is no contact with the outside world in the middle, so as to minimize the risk.
6. Manure management.
The manure produced by the pig farm should be treated as much as possible after the pigs are discharged, so as to avoid the entry of the social manure collector when there are pigs.
