Options to limit the effect of ASF on Romanian commercial

pig production

 Compliance with current regulation by both commercial and backyard holdings is key to successful prevention and eradication of ASF.
Currently Competent authorities have due to various reasons difficulties to enforce regulations. Identification and regulation, basic
hygienic measures are vital parts pf strategies for successful eradication. As indicated by the Romanian Veterinary Authorities substantial
number of deficiencies when inspecting non-professional holdings are observed (about 20% of the inspected holdings do not comply)
 Among found deficiencies

● Non-compliance with identification and registration rules
(unidentified pigs over 60 days, National Data Base not updated, undeclared home slaughter, keeping ear tags after home
slaughter, etc.)
● Commercial activities without documents
● Non-compliance with national biosecurity requirements
(feeding with household waste, lack of disinfecting footwear, lack of work equipment, etc.)
