About ten Ivorian pig farms audited by two AVe experts prior to the introduction of High Genetic Value breeding stock
Under the framework agreement between AVe and AXIOM (France's leading swine genetics company), it is agreed that AVe will carry out audits on farms that are to receive swine breeding stock of high genetic value, prior to their introduction. This is what Gilbert and Bernard did for a week in Côte d'Ivoire in April 2024. These audits provide each breeder with a roadmap adapted to his farm to ensure the successful introduction of breeding stock. This preliminary action is essential in African countries where ASF (African Swine Fever) is present everywhere. The roadmap specifies not only biosecurity measures for each breeder, but also the actions to be taken to improve breeding performance. |
