HACCP for Reproduction and Farrowing Problems

Summary

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.
