Does an on-farm eradication programme eliminate foot-and-mouth disease as an alternative to mass culling in a pig farm?
An on-farm eradication programme using vaccination, controlled exposure, and strict biosecurity successfully eliminated foot-and-mouth disease without requiring mass culling.
Poulin et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Foot-and-mouth disease (n=1,500). On-farm eradication programme vs. Mass culling was evaluated on Eradication of FMD virus. An on-farm eradication programme based on mass vaccination, virus exposure, and strict biosecurity successfully eliminated foot-and-mouth disease on a 1500-sow farm within 12 months.
