East Anglia gets to grips: The next step is to eradicate it — and then keep the region free

摘要

The majority of East Anglia pigs are now in the region's producer-run Swine Dysentery Eradication (Control) Scheme. And no breeding units in the scheme are positive for the disease. So to be sure the pigs they receive are free from the disease, pig-keepers in other regions who import weaners from East Anglia, may wish to check whether the supplying unit is in the scheme. Going forward, the target is to recruit all pig businesses in East Anglia and achieve 100 percent coverage. The ultimate goal is to eradicate swine dysentery from East Anglia and then keep the region free.
