Fresh start for every journey: Make 2026 the year of zero muck

It’s time to embrace resolutions that truly make a difference. This year, commit to something that protects livelihoods and strengthens our pig industry: Muck Free Truck.

Contaminated vehicles remain one of the biggest risks for spreading devastating diseases like African swine fever (ASF) and swine dysentery.

The consequences of an outbreak ripple far beyond the infected farm – disrupting businesses, reducing productivity and causing emotional and financial strain across the supply chain.

It's your farm, your pigs, your call – ask for a clean lorry before it arrives.

• Every clean truck is a frontline defence against disease
• Hauliers, farmers and processors all play a vital role in safeguarding pig health
• A few extra minutes spent washing and disinfecting can prevent catastrophic losses

• Farmers: Make it routine to request a muck-free truck when booking collections
• Farmers: Inspect vehicles before loading – don’t accept dirty lorries
• Hauliers: Follow the lorry-washing standard operating procedure every time
• Processors: Ensure wash facilities are operational and that drivers have what they need

Together, we can make biosecurity a habit, not a hassle.
