Updated SPF Health and Transport Rules Effective from September 1, 2025
The Board of the Pig Sector under Landbrug & Fødevarer has approved updates to both the SPF Health Rules and SPF Transport Rules. The new rules will take effect on September 1, 2025, and include the following changes:
- Yersinia O9 will no longer be included in health declarations, and all related rules have been removed.
- Atrophic rhinitis will now be monitored exclusively through clinical inspections in herds with red SPF status. The surveillance rules have been adjusted accordingly.
Status on Serological Surveillance
The Veterinary Laboratory is continuing its work to prepare analyses for Ap1, Ap5, and Ap7, with the aim of resuming serological surveillance in red SPF herds. In parallel, the analysis for Ap10 is being quality-assured to enable its reintroduction. No changes have been made to the rule set regarding these analyses.
