Importância da biosseguridade na produção de suínos no Brasil

Abstract

Biosecurity is a crucial pillar for Brazilian pig farming, ensuring the health of the herd and production quality. In Brazil, one of the world’s largest pork exporters, implementing strict biosecurity measures is essential to prevent outbreaks of diseases like African Swine Fever and Swine Influenza, which can impact both animal health and the economy. These practices include controlling access to farms, quarantine for new animals, proper waste management, and thorough sanitization of facilities and equipment. In addition to reducing treatment costs and losses, biosecurity strengthens the sector's competitiveness, ensuring a supply of high quality pork for both domestic and international markets
