Evidence of Absence Surveillance Project

Project goal

Follow on from APL project 2019/0013, which aimed to prove through testing that Australia does not have specific exotic pig diseases.

Project summary

This project is a follow on from APL project 2019/0013, which aimed to prove through testing that Australia does not have specific exotic pig diseases.

This information can then be used to support disease status claims made by the Department of Agriculture, Water, and the Environment, which in turn supports trade negotiations.

Value for producers:

  • Improve pig health monitoring and surveillance across Australia
  • Support market access
