THE ALGORITHM OF EPIZOOTOLOGICAL AUDIT OF THE SWINE FARMS FOR DETECTION OF THE RISKS OF EMERGENT DISEASES LIKE AFRICAN SWINE FEVER

Introduction. Emergent diseases have a significant impact on the economiсs, trade and food security of the countries. One of them is the African swine fever which has today registered in all regions of Ukraine. The level of biosecurity of a pig population depends on a number of factors. A group of factors that contribute to the introduction of infectious diseases pathogens into the farm territory and a group of factors that cause the pathogens spread between pigs could be distinguished. The identification of these risks helps to eliminate or mitigate them, which creates preconditions for increasing the bio-security of enterprises and farms.

The goal of the work. To develop an algorithm for internal epizootic audit – the assessment of the condition of pig farms biosecurity for risk identification of the highly dangerous pathogens introduction by interviewing the management (responsible employees) of the pig farms.

Materials and methods. The method of epizootological examination in modification of “internal epizootological audit” was used. The analysis of the epizootic situation and the criteria selection for compiling the questionnaire were based on the analysis of the data of the website http://www.asf.vet.ua and the recommendations of FAO experts on biosafety issues.

Results of research and discussion. According to the dynamics of the registration of African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in Ukraine from 2014 to 2017, the rate of increase in incidence was 2.2±0.2 in average. In the beginning of epizootics 75% of ASF cases were detected in wild fauna, and in the last three years in average 76.8% of outbreaks occurred among domestic pigs, because the human associated factor has become the leading driving force of the epizootic process of the ASF. To facilitate cooperation with pig owners an outreach campaign on work or the basic principles of farms biosafety and biosecurity and definition of the "compartmentalization" was carried out. A questionnaire was developed to assist farm specialists. Pig’s owners, answering questions, participate in the “internal audit” on the biosecurity of their farm and identify the points in which these risks arise.

Conclusions and prospects for further research: 1. The epizootic situation on ASF in Ukraine tends to increase the incidence 2.2±0.2 times in average; 2. During the last three years, 76.8% of AFS outbreaks occurred among domestic pigs, indicating a significant lack of knowledge of the pig farms owners (managers); 3. The criteria for assessing of the emerging pigs diseases risks are the presence or absence of barriers for the introduction of pathogens of infectious diseases with infected animals and contaminated materials into the farms territory; 4. The use of the questionnaire for pig owners according to the proposed scheme will increase the awareness of pork producers in maintaining a healthy epizootic situation regarding infectious diseases of pigs.

Keywords: pigs, African swine fever, biosafety, risk analysis.
