Pros and cons of the most used carcass disposal systems: burial, composting, incineration, and rendering. Impacts on environment and biosecurity.

Although cleaning between batches appears to be a basic task that all farms should be doing correctly, after talking to the authors we see that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The innovative digital biosecurity control system and its application to the objective monitoring of internal biosecurity and on-farm movements.

New approaches and technologies in objective monitoring of biosecurity reduce the risk of non-compliance or failure in application.

The movement of live animals out of the farm can compromise farm biosecurity. A meticulously designed transfer facility and safe load out protocols are key to prevent the risk of cross contamination.

Biosecurity and prevention measures must take into account that as low as 5 units of ASF virus are enough to produce infection.

In this series of articles about internal biosecurity we will review McRebel and other strategies that we perform to control the movement of pathogens within the farm as we complete our daily work

This second article on the assessment of truck cleaning and disinfection describes how to carry out and evaluate the results of microbiological validation and adenosine triphosphate detection.

What are the most important points to include when auditing the cleaning and disinfection of a truck that has transported pigs? In this article we focus on visual inspection.

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 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.
