BIOSECURITY GUIDELINES FOR THE REARING OF PIGS IN SAMOA

Keeping your pigs in accordance with sound biosecurity practices will assist to significantly:

• protect your pigs by reducing the risks of introducing diseases into your farm/property;
• improve the health of your pigs with benefits in better production (e.g., better growth rates for commercial farms), increasing the number of piglets born and reducing deaths in young pigs; and
• reduce the risk of spreading diseases to/between other people’s pigs/pig farms.
