At the Canadian Swine Health Forum in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the CFIA provided its letter of official recognition of the Canadian Swine Health Board (CSHB) National Swine Farm-level Biosecurity Standard.
The CSHB developed the standard with a technical expert committee and input from over 100 biosecurity experts in Canada and abroad. CFIA has been conducting a rigourous review to ensure it met the requirements for their official recognition.
The aim of the National Swine Farm-level Biosecurity Standard is to assist the swine industry attain and apply the strategic objectives of bio-exclusion, bio-management and bio-containment of swine pathogens and zoonoses in Canada. The Standard is available at www.swinehealth.ca.
