HACCP for Reproduction and Farrowing Problems

Summary in the original language of the document

Deliverables of the COREPIG project are management tools based on the HACCP principle (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points). These tools help farmers (in a farm specific way) to solve and prevent problems with endoparasites, reproduction and farrowing problems, weaning diarrhoea and suckling piglet mortality. They are available as Microsoft Excel® files. We recommend that the tools be used by the farmer together with the farm's advisor or veterinarian.
Each tool contains instructions for use and consists of three parts:
i) a questionnaire for the farmer,
ii) a check list to be used in the barn and
iii) the farm specific report.
The farm specific report has three parts for six different areas: mummified piglets, born dead, farrowing sickness, poor conception, abortion/small litters, poor gilt performance.
