On-farm strategies for preventing pig diseases: improving biosecurity

On-farm strategies for preventing pig diseases: improving biosecurityPigs are susceptible to a wide range of diseases that can affect health, welfare and productivity. The implementation of biosecurity measures along the production chain is one of the major solutions to minimize the risk of introduction of diseases into a farm (external biosecurity), as well as their spread within the farm (internal biosecurity).
