Investments related to measures to increase biosecurity in an existing livestock farm

Pig breeding in Bulgaria is a branch with traditions, which is one of the most promising branches of animal husbandry. It is characterized by a high degree of industrialization and concentration, and a developed fodder base. The spread of African swine fever (ASF) is a serious threat to the development of the sector. The disease, which generates serious losses for farmers from Central and Eastern Europe - Poland, Belarus, Russia, Ukraine and others. In 2018 it was registered on the territory of Bulgaria, and in 2019 an outbreak of ASF in the land of the village of Varshilo, municipality. Sozopol, region Burgas and in the village of Zidarovo, municipality. Sozopol, region Burgas (Order № RD 11-2096 / 23.10.2019). In this regard, prevention is the best protection at farm level. Against this background, the importance of investing in biosecurity technologies and the exchange of experience stands out. In order to increase the level of biosecurity and prevent contamination on the territory of the pig farm, the company intends to purchase eight feed hoppers, equipped with a decontamination system and a mobile machine for pneumatic transport of grain. As a result, there will be no need for trucks delivering feed grain to enter the white area of ​​the pig farm to load animal feed bins. The free movement of trucks on the national road network carries a serious risk of transmitting the disease to the livestock facility, which will be avoided by carrying out unloading activities by means of a machine for pneumatic transport of grain outside the site. It is also planned to purchase modern disinfection systems, namely: a stationary pressure cleaning device, a pressure cleaning device with a hose drum and a disinfection device indoors. With their commissioning, a better level of disinfection of the sites and production buildings on the territory of the pig farm will be achieved.
