Pig Health Improvement Project

The pig health revolution has begun 

 As of July 2011 the Pig Health Improvement Project (PHIP) was launched giving all producers chance to join this industry-wide drive to improve pig health.  It builds from the successes of producers taking part in regional projects in Yorkshire & Humberside, East Anglia and East Midlands.  The aim is to assist producers in taking a more collaborative approach to pig health with the help of vets and allied industries

Bespoke Biosecurity Action Plans - formulated with your vet will help to reduce the risk of unwanted disease entering your farm

Disease Testing - support can be provided for groups of producers and accessed with the help of your vet

Regional Support - dedicated BPEX staff are on hand to help you meet your health targets and support group activities in your area
