Strengthen planning against ASF

Western Daily Press

July 02, 2025

BRITISH pig producers are being urged to strengthen their contingency planning against African Swine Fever (ASF) by attending one of 13 specialist workshops running throughout 2025.

Organised by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) in partnership with Livetec Systems and the National Pig Association (NPA), the nationwide series of in-person workshops is open to all producers - from smallholders to large commercial units - and are delivered by pig veterinary practices.

Miranda Poulson, senior animal health and welfare scientist at AHDB, explains the workshops are designed to prepare the pig sector for the real and rising threat of ASF.

“We're proud to partner with Livetec and the NPA to deliver this series of hands-on contingency planning workshops, supporting pig producers in becoming better prepared for ASF” she said.
