Options to reduce the risk of introduction into a commercial

farm or region

During our fact-finding mission to Romania several options were mentioned to reduce the risk of commercial farms to become infected or
minimise the impact in case commercial farms are confronted with movement bans. These options will be briefly discussed. The following
aspects will be used to describe these options:
 Impact on the risk of introduction of ASF on commercial farms
 Feasibility to implement
 Economic impact
 Additional regulation needed
 Impact on future option for the development of the pig sector

The following options are being assessed:
1. Improved biosecurity at farm level
2. Removal of all backyard production around commercial farms
3. Collaboration between commercial farms and backyard holdings
4. Zoning and compartmentalisation

5. Establishing farrow-to-finish farms on one location
6. Implementing hygienic measures for hunters
