Backyard / small-scale pig farming is one of the drivers behind the spread of major diseases such as #ASF. #Biosecurity is one of the only tools available to reduce these risks. Yes also in backyard farming you can improve biosecurity. Do you want to know how? check biocheckgent.com/en/questionn...
