NPA AHDB disease contingency plan template

Download and complete this contingency planning template from AHDB and the NPA so that you are prepared should there be a notifiable disease outbreak in the pig sector.

This template has been designed to help commercial pig producers in the case of a notifiable disease outbreak affecting pigs in the UK.

In these scenarios, the situation can change quickly.

It can be a stressful time, whether the disease is present on your farm or not. Therefore, it is important to have certain information easily accessible.

In such circumstances, all pig units should be able to contact relevant suppliers and the onward supply chain, and all staff should know what is required.

Consider where you will keep this document, in hard copy and/or digital.

We recommended that you keep it up to date and review it regularly with your vet.

It should also be part of new staff inductions.

The Farm Animal Genetic Resources Committee (FAnGR) contingency plan may be more appropriate for keepers of rare breeds.
