Next Steps for PRRS Control in Scotland

This project will tackle the disease through identifying infected premises and educating farmers on biosecurity to ensure that they are taking actions to prevent disease incursions. This will lead to significant reductions in disease and will ultimately present opportunities for eradication. Through adoption of good biosecurity controls in this scheme it will also help prevent the introduction of other pig diseases and in particular notifiable diseases where government has a statutory obligation to intervene and compensate, such as ASF which is currently spreading across Europe at pace.
