Pig farming: prevention is the way to ensure quality meat and food safety

In the next decade, animal production will still face many health challenges

Our mission, going forward, will really be to produce quality meat. We will have a lot of work in the next decade to face all these new challenges that animal production and human health have brought us.

the pandemic of Covid-19 in humans, the health problems in various animal species, especially swine with the occurrence of African swine fever (PSA) in China two years ago, all of this changes the scenario that we are going to have going forward, which will be the main challenges of our activity.

What are the challenges?

We have always been trained to treat animals. Going forward, with all these new viruses, with all these mutations, with all these diseases that appear, it will be increasingly important for us to work on preventing these diseases.

So, it is very important that we invest in the production of the future, working with vaccination, disease prevention, disinfection, hygiene in our facilities and, especially, increasing the capacity of the animal's immune system to respond to antigens that all animal species will face going forward.

Climate change has brought these challenges, and these pandemics are a great example of this. We have to improve the animal's own immunity to cope with this. We cannot simply leave it to antibiotics to solve our problems.

And the solutions?

We have to work on prevention. All the hygiene, all the vaccination, all the management for the prevention of illnesses with the disinfection of the facilities and, mainly, with all the water we currently have to manage, via nutrition, products that increase the immunity of animals. This is very important, and it is one of our great missions, as quality meat producers, to guarantee the food safety of our product.
