Improved biosecurity across the pork value chain is imperative for the success of the piggery sector in India. Veterinarians play an essential role in motivating, training, and helping people to improve biosecurity at all levels. A practicing field veterinarian is also a gatekeeper of biosecurity protocols both on and between pig farms. Veterinarians should work with industry-level associations to popularize a scientific risk-based scoring system to evaluate the quality of biosecurity. A biosecurity plan is often unique to the local situation. The author Prof Mohinder S Oberoi, rightly points out that a strategic bio-security plan recommended by a veterinarian should be affordable, sustainable, and effective. The suggested measures should not disrupt the production cycle. We hope to include more biosecurity-related resources ( including specific references about other livestock species and poultry) on this page soon.
