AHDB and NPA will be hosting a joint webinar next Monday covering ASF prevention and what you can do to prepare for an outbreak.
Mandy Nevel, AHDB Head of Animal Health & Welfare, and Katie Jarvis, Senior Policy Advisor at the National Pig Association (NPA), will share practical things that you can do to prepare for a possible outbreak of African swine fever (ASF).
They will explain what producers can do to prepare businesses, who is responsible for what, and how the industry would need to work together if there was an outbreak.
This meeting, which will take place tonight, Monday June 3 from 5-6.30pm, will cover:
- Spotting the clinical signs of ASF
- Effective biosecurity precautions
- Establishing an emergency plan for your business
- The possible impact of being placed in a temporary control zone
There will also be time for Q&As.

There is growing concern about the risk of an ASF outbreak in the UK, given the increasing spread of the virus in Europe and the Government’s approach to border controls.
