In Russia, the procedure for determining the status of pig farms is changing

According to the regulatory act developed by the Ministry of Agriculture of RUSSIA, the inspection of objects for assigning them a certain level of biological safety (compartment) is the responsibility of specialists of the state veterinary service.

The document specifies the procedure and timing of the survey and a number of instructions for owners of pig farms, including a package of necessary documentation and the timing of its verification (within five days from the date of submission). 

The classification of compartments has not changed. The first includes unprotected farms that have not been checked for zoosanitary status. The degrees of zoosanitary protection from the second to the fourth are designated as low, medium and high, respectively.

The rules will come into force on September 1, 2023 and will be valid until September 1, 2029.
