July/August 2012
The Asia-Pacic pig industry is feeling
the pressure as Western-style feed
and food standards are impacting
and pushing producers and feed
manufacturers to improve performance.
Despite increasing standards,
there is still much that Asia-Pacic
pig producers and others involved
in the food sector can learn from
what has been happening in highly
developed markets like Europe
where, despite stringent regulations,
food safety is still a major issue.
Feed-related incidents
During the past three years, a
number of entirely preventable feed-
related incidents throughout the world
have highlighted the direct impact
contaminated feed can have on meat
production. Such incidents ultimately
lead to greater intervention by the
regulatory authorities in the form of
increased feed and food safety policies
to regulate, control and implement
regulations to prevent food-borne
diseases such as Salmonellosis,
Shigellosis, Campylobacteriosis,
Listeriosis and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Untreated feed is one of the
key ways to introduce Salmonella
and other pathogens onto pig
farms, and subsequently into the
food chain. Clearly a key element
in effective control measures is to
ensure that feed is pathogen-free
up to the point of consumption.
Many feed-related incidents can
easily be prevented by implementing
well-proven technologies, for example,
treating all feed materials and nished
feeds with an effective, approved
biocide to eliminate pathogens.
Feed safety awareness
Although awareness of feed safety
issues by consumers and government
is increasing in the Asia Pacic, there
is a lack of strong policy solutions to
control bacterial zoonotics in primary
production. This is partly because
responsibility for feed and food safety
policy falls to different governmental
bodies in different countries.
In Singapore, for example, the
manufacture, import and sale of food
products are governed by the Sale
of Food Act 2002, while the Food
Regulations 2006 are administered by
the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority
of Singapore, the countrys national
food safety authority. In Taiwan, the
Department of Health is the statutory
body responsible for the management
of food safety and the Thailand FDA is
the principal department of the Ministry
of Public Health in charge of consumer
safety in the consumption of food.
The consequence of relative
insufciency in policy solutions for
controlling bacterial zoonotics in
primary production across Asia Pacic
is that much of the responsibility for
eliminating bacterial contaminants
in meat still rests with consumers
by ensuring that food is thoroughly
cooked. Signicantly, however, this
approach fails to take into account any
cross-contamination issues during
food storage and preparation.
The inevitable result of neglecting
to implement available food safety
technologies to eliminate pathogenic
microorganisms at sites of primary
production will be instances of unsafe
food products being produced. It is
important to stress that food hygiene
and safety can only be assured if all
the precautionary and preventative
measures are taken throughout the entire
production and distribution process.
This extends from the early stage of
proper handling of feed raw materials
and food ingredients throughout
the various stages of production.

Europe has been the driving force
behind feed and food safety legislation

Scott Faul, director Asia Pacic
for Anitox corp Controlling
Salmonella in pigs will require a
legislative and economic push on
feed-manufacturers, pig producers
and meat processors to implement the
increased surveillance and multiple
interventions required.

for many years, and given the large,
increasing pig populations which now
exist throughout Asia Pacic, including
signicant numbers in China, Korea,
Taiwan and Vietnam, the region can
learn from that regions experiences.
The European Union regulatory
authority, the European Food Standards
Agency (EFSA), already has a rigorous
program to monitor and eliminate
zoonotic pathogens, specically
Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella
Typhimurium, in meat, starting at
source on primary production units.
Zoonoses-focused legislation, such
as the Control of Salmonella and Other
Specied Food Borne Zoonotic Agents
Regulation (2160/2003), is well-
established and requires all pig farmers
to implement procedures to ensure
that feed is free from Salmonella.
Salmonella, pig feed
And the EFSA is increasingly turning
its attention to pigs, as it estimates
that 10 percent to 20 percent of
human cases of Salmonellosis that
occur within the EU can be attributed
to the consumption of pig meat.
Salmonella infections in pigs are
largely asymptomatic, with a high
proportion of infected pigs becoming
carriers and intermittent execrators of
Salmonella in their feces. Preventing
the contamination of farms with
viable and persistent Salmonella
exposures from outwardly healthy
carrier pigs is difcult to achieve.
The link between feed, farm and
food is well recognized and separate
studies in a variety of domestic
animals have clearly demonstrated
that Salmonella isolated from the
feed mill or the nished feed can be
later isolated from the farm, meat

Salmonella in pig feed, see

processing plant, eggs or meat (Shirota et al., 2001, Liebana
et al., 2002, sterberg et al., 2006, Molla et al., 2010).
In countries with a low on-farm prevalence of Salmonella,
human infections linked to pork consumption have been
traced back to Salmonella-contaminated feedstuffs (Hald et
al., 2006, Wierup et al., 2010). As other countries, including
those in Asia Pacic, reduce their Salmonella incidence,
they too will have to become ever more vigilant in terms of
producing Salmonella-free feedstuffs for their pigs.
Heat treatment has traditionally been used to contain the
problem. However, this process adds signicantly to the cost
of feed, is energy-intensive, has a high carbon footprint,
can damage vitamins/nutrients, may not kill all pathogens
and has no residual effect. To be condent of eliminating
100 percent of Salmonella in feed (including heat-tolerant
strains), the meal must be heated to >85C for at least four
minutes and contain 14.5 percent to 15 percent moisture.
Unfortunately, the majority of mills are unable to achieving
anything like these conditions and even when using feed
hygenizers, nished clean feed must still be cooled, stored
and distributed, thus exposing it to the risk of re-contamination.
Salmonella contamination can all too easily occur at
these stages and pigs are then exposed to Salmonella-
contaminated feed. Therefore, unless other measures
are implemented, re-contamination can occur in the
mill, during transport or on farm, so it is critical to
ensure the feed is treated effectively to prevent this.
Organic acids and their salts are also popular Salmonella-
control products in pig feed. There are, however, signicant
limitations to their effectiveness in-feed. To kill Salmonella
they need to penetrate the bacteria and this requires the
molecule to be un-dissociated; generally requiring low pH,
conditions typically not found in feed but in pigs stomach acid.
It is within the pig that organic acids exert their greatest anti-
Salmonella effects; arguably too little, too late for some pigs.

Asia-Pacic swine industry
As feed manufacturers and
pig producers seek the most
effective ways to produce
Salmonella-free feed they might
be wise to look to the successes
achieved by the poultry industry
and the methods it used.

A recent independent study has demonstrated that organic
acid-treated samples often show-up as Salmonella-negative,
despite actually containing viable Salmonella (Carrique-
Mas et al., 2006). Such masking of Salmonella (in effect,
false-negatives) is potentially catastrophic for both feed-
manufacturer and pig producer the feed manufacturer
risks contaminating the mill and the feed, while the pig
producer risks infecting their pigs with Salmonella.
For many organic acids and blends, high inclusion levels
are required to provide effective in-feed Salmonella control.
Clean pig feed
Looking at the poultry industry, where Salmonella
control has largely been a success; we nd that the
most popular in-feed Salmonella control products are
products such as Termin-8. Containing a synergistic
combination of anti-microbial substances, surfactant
and propionic acid; it provides rapid, persistent and
non-pH-dependant anti-Salmonella activity.
Research by the EFSA found that a formaldehyde-based
feed treatment provides a more effective, cost-efcient
alternative to heat treatment and, crucially, has a residual
protective effect. This was conrmed by Britains Defra-
funded research at the Veterinary Laboratories Agency which
investigated the efcacy of organic acids and formaldehyde
treatments on animal feeds. Its investigations showed
that the treatment which achieved by far the best kill of
Salmonella in feed, rather than just masking the problem,
was a liquid antimicrobial bactericide product containing 33
percent formaldehyde, propionic acid and natural terpenes,
a formula identical to Termin-8, which Anitox developed to
reduce mould and bacteria in feed and feed ingredients.
Controlling Salmonella in pigs will require a legislative and
economic push on feed manufacturers, pig producers and meat
processors to implement the increased surveillance and multiple
interventions required. As these interventions take effect, the
need to ensure that pigs are fed Salmonella-free feed will
become ever more important. As feed manufacturers and pig
producers seek the most effective ways to produce Salmonella-
free feed they might be wise to look to the successes achieved
by the poultry industry and the methods it used. PIGI

July/August 2012
Vietnamese pig production is rapidly
increasing to keep up with a growing
population and expanding middle
class with a love of pork, which
is opening up new opportunities
for the global pig industry.
Vietnams pig industry is managing
to keep pace with the demand. The per-
capita consumption of pork is expected
to increase from 37.8kg a head in 2012
to 48.7kg per head by 2020, according
to the Vietnamese Department of
Agriculture. The same department
also forecasts that pig production will
increase from 31.24 million head in
2012 to 34.75 million head in 2020.
Vietnams growing
appetite for pork
The regions appetite for pig meat
could increase Vietnams world ranking
in the pork sector from its current
fourth position. It also opens the door
to pig equipment manufacturers and
breeders from abroad as Vietnamese
pig farmers upgrade their systems to
meet a growing demand for pig meat.
This was evident at the March 2012
ILDEX trade fair in Ho Chi Minh City,
where pig breeders and equipment
manufacturers from around the world
were hoping to win new customers, in
spite of reports that the PRRS virus
had infected around 19,000 pigs in six
provinces in North Vietnam recently.
European pig breeding companies are
hoping to win new business in Vietnam,
alongside the Canadian Swine Export
Association. The new EU kids on the
block at ILDEX trade fair included the
British Pig Association, ACMC Ltd. and
JSR Genetics from England, while Robert
Overend from Deerpark Pedigree Pigs
was doing his bit for Northern Ireland
and Danbred International was also a
visible presence there for the rst time.
All these pig breeding companies were
selling a package, usually consisting
of F1 females for crossing with sire
lines selected for the Vietnamese
market, along with GGP and GP lines.
Feed mills investing in farms
Several big Vietnamese feed
companies have invested in integrated
pig and poultry operations to provide
guaranteed tonnage for their mills.
Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF),
for example, has several mills in the
country, as well as integrated pig farms,
with most of its breeding stock shipped
in from its multiplier units in Thailand.
One of Vietnams largest feed millers,
Japfa, just signed a joint venture with
Hypor to produce their pigs in Vietnam.
Observers expect other European
breeding companies will be actively
searching out feed companies to
partner them in joint venture schemes
in Vietnam in the near future.
Vietnamese pig breeder
It all started 30 years ago, when
forward-thinking Vietnamese pig
farmers traveled abroad visiting
foreign pig breeders to buy purebred
gilts and boars to start up breeding
units in Vietnam, explained Nguyen
Van Than, who owns a 600-sow
unit in Dong Nai province.
I imported purebreds from all
over the world, including Large
Whites from England, Landrace
from the United States, France and
Canada, as well as Durocs from the
USA, says Van Than. I was also the
rst Vietnamese breeder to import
Pietrains from Belgium in 1997.
Currently, new pig genes are
introduced into Vietnam as semen which
is shipped in frozen and Van Than is
keen to import dam lines from Denmark.
His pig unit has a staff of 29, including
operatives who work on the farms feed
mill. He operates an all-in and all-out
system and vaccinates his pigs against
PCV2, Mycoplasma, Foot-and-Mouth
disease, Hog Cholera and Aujeszkys

disease. He weans piglets at four weeks.
Large White and Landrace are used
as dam lines, with Pietrain and Duroc
as sire lines. The boars are individually
tested from 30kg to 90kg for feed
conversion ratios and daily liveweight
gain and scanned to measure p2 back
fat. In addition, the Pietrain boars are
halothane tested. Boars that are not
selected are given Improvac to help him
get a better carcass price and a BLUP
program is used for the overall herd.
Van Thans boars and gilts are sold
all over Vietnam, along with semen and
his breeding unit was the rst to supply
pigs to CPF when it rst set up pig farms
in the country. Unfortunately, his pig
farm is surrounded by creeping urban
development and like several other units
in a similar position, he has to move his
operations. However, this will allow him to
double the units size to 1,200 sows and
upgrade to loose housing for pregnant
sows to meet new animal welfare
standards that are being implemented
in Vietnam. Moving to the new pig unit,
which is 60km from the current site, will
cost Van Than around US$3 million.
Pig genetics
Another pig breeding business
doing well in Vietnam is Darby CJ
Genetics, an offshoot of the Korean-
based Darby Genetics. Since 2004, the
companys nucleus pig unit contains
1,000 GGPs and GP females.
As far as sire line boars are
concerned, their growth rate, p2
backfat, conformation and leg strength
are included in the selection index, with
the pig farm producing 3,300 Large
White/Landrace F1 females every year.
The company also owns a second
unit, Hanpork, which contains 500 GP
females and also produces a 50/50
Large White/Landrace cross. It produces
3,000 F1s annually and these are
crossed with Duroc semen to produce
50 percent Duroc cross slaughter pigs.
As Vietnams pig farms expand, the
need for more genetics and high-tech
equipment to boost efciency are sure
to open the country to the international
market. This will allow it to provide
the increasing amount of quality pig
meat products its citizens are already
clamoring for and meet new food safety
and welfare standards. PIGI

Jenisys Nedap Velos heat
detection system
Jenisys has introduced the Nedap
Velos stand-alone version of the heat
detection system used in its electron-
ic sow feeding management program.
The Jenisys Nedap Velos stand-
alone heat detection system makes
the advantages of automatic heat
detection available to a wide range of
loose housed dry sow systems, re-
gardless of their feeding regime. This
means that sows returning to heat
can be spotted early, signifcantly
reducing the number of missed heats
and sow empty days while improving
litters per sow per year.
