STRATEGIC PLAN FOR BRAZIL FREE OF
CLASSICAL SWINE FEVER
ABPA worked closely with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply
(MAPA) on the Strategic Plan for rendering Brazil Free of the Classical Swine
Fever (CSF), whose objective is to eradicate the disease in the non-free zone
of Brazil, focusing on reducing losses in the production system and reaping
commercial benefits by virtue of the health status of a disease-free country.
The investments for the execution of the pilot project, which involves
vaccination against CSF in the state of Alagoas, come from a public-private
partnership. The first stage of the pilot project took place in 2021 and around
112,000 pigs were vaccinated, distributed among more than 7,000 rural
properties in the state.
CHANGE OF HEALTH
STATUS FOR FOOT-
AND-MOUTH DISEASE
In May 2021, the World Organisation for Animal
Health recognized the states of Acre, Paraná, Rio
Grande do Sul, Rondônia, as well as 14 additional
cities in Amazonas state and 5 in Mato Grosso state,
as FMD-free areas without vaccination.
This great achievement of the sector, in addition
to increasing the possibility of opening markets for
international trade, ratifies the efforts made by the
public and private sectors in Brazil to promote the
health control of our herds, demonstrating the high
health standards of Brazilian livestock.
The CSF Free Zone in Brazil, where vaccination of animals is not allowed, has
its status recognized by the World Animal Health Organization (OIE). This
zone concentrates more than 95% of the entire national pork industry and is
responsible for all Brazilian exports of pork meat and its products.
Currently, the CSF Free Zone in Brazil includes 15 states and the Federal District
(RS, SC, PR, MG, SP, MS, MT, GO, RJ, ES, BA, SE, TO, RO and AC) and these are
areas that have not had a single case of CSF since January 1998!
The boundaries between CSF-free and non-CSF-free zones are protected by
natural barriers and surveillance stations, where surveillance and risk mitigation
procedures are continuously adopted to prevent the introduction of the disease.
