Biosecurity measures together with the efficient on-farm management embraces all aspects of
the prevention of pathogens entering pig farms, regardless of structure and animal number. In
the present study assessment of biosecurity measures in the commercial (industrial) pig farms in
Serbia was carried out through application of the questionnaire to farm veterinarians.
To assess biosecurity in commercial (industrial) farms, a Biocheck online survey
(https://biocheckgent.com) was conducted in the ten commercial pigs farms located in the
Northern part of Serbia where industrial pig production is localized and the highest density of pig
production can be found.
The results of the external biosecurity assessment showed a mean score of 75.55%, compared to
the average in Serbia, which was 68.55%, and the global average of 73%. External biosecurity
assessment showed the lowest scores for feed, water and equipment supply (47%). The
assessment of internal biosecurity revealed a score o...f 54.89% compared to the national average
of 44.22% and the world average of 64.11%. Regarding internal biosecurity, the lowest
percentage score (37.22%) was confirmed for farrowing and suckling period and for finishing unit
(37.67%). The overall biosecurity score for commercial pig farms included in this study was
65.55%. The national average was 56.33%, while the global average was 68.67%.
This study showed a bit less lower level of biosecurity measures in commercial pig farms in Serbia
comparing with global average. Certainly, having in mind the different pig production systems in
Serbia, there is urgent need to improve biosecurity in industrial farms. Serbia as a Western Balkan
country, has variable pig farming system characterized by a domination of traditional family
farms, smallholdings, backyard production and semi-free and free-range. Currently, traditional
farming methods in Serbia represent a cultural identity. The biosecurity measures that could be
implemented in extisted animal production systems need to be urgently identified.
