Policy briefBiosecurity in pig farms and the provision of animal health services in the United Republic of Tanzania: Should public-private partnerships be the way forward?
A snapshot from public and private livestock field officers in Sumbawanga
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Progressive Management Pathway for Terrestrial Animal Biosecurity (PMP-TAB) is a collaborative, stepwise approach to assessing and managing biological risks, to strengthen biosecurity in terrestrial animal production and associated value chains. Strengthening biosecurity will minimise health threats, including disease and antimicrobial resistance, improve production and enhance livelihoods through socioeconomic benefits. In Tanzania, the focus is on pig value chain actors, initially producers, to adopt minimum biosecurity practices at the farm level. This brief presents a snapshot of biosecurity in the Tanzania pig sector and a quick assessment of the capacity of public and private animal health services suppliers to interact and cooperate with livestock farmers and facilitate their adoption of good biosecurity practices and compliance with animal health legislation to ensure prevention and timely detection of animal disease and improve health outcomes. Existing laws, regulations and guidelines on biosecurity can make a difference only to the extent they reach and are applied by livestock farmers. -
BookletLegal framework for terrestrial animal biosecurity in the United Republic of Tanzania
Assessing national-level legislation, regulation and policy gaps related to the implementation of biosecurity in livestock (pig) value chains
2024Also available in:
No results found.Strengthening biosecurity will reduce health risks, improve production and enhance livelihoods through socioeconomic benefits. In the United Republic of Tanzania, the focus is on pig value chain actors, initially producers to adopt routine biosecurity practices at the farm level, to eventually scale up to involve other nodes of the value chain and/or wider geographic regions. Legislation and policy cover good practices that stakeholders should adopt to reduce the threat of health risks affecting livestock productivity and profitability.This policy brief reviews the legal framework related to biosecurity in terrestrial animal value chains (with a focus on the pig sector) in the United Republic of Tanzania to analyse the extent to which good biosecurity practices are legislated and biosecurity management is highlighted and actions that are recommended in livestock-related policy. The existing legislation mainly focuses on enforcing good biosecurity practices during outbreak situations, highlighting a gap in routine on-farm biosecurity as a preventative measure and a potential focus for future revisions. -
Book (series)The Progressive Management Pathway for Aquaculture Biosecurity
Guidelines for application
2023Also available in:
No results found.The PMP/AB refers to a pathway aimed at enhancing aquaculture biosecurity by building on existing frameworks, capacity and appropriate tools using risk-based approaches and public-private sector partnerships. It is expected to result in sustainable (i) reduction in burden of diseases; (ii) improvement of aquatic health and welfare at farm, national and regional levels; (iii) minimization of global spread of diseases; (iv) optimization of socio-economic benefits from aquaculture; (v) attraction of investment opportunities into aquaculture; and (vi) achievement of One Health goals. In the context of the PMP/AB, biosecurity refers to the cost-effective management of risks posed by pathogens to aquaculture through a strategic approach at the enterprise, local-sector, national and international levels with shared public-private responsibilities. This guidance document for PMP/AB application contains the rationale, vision, mission, scope, goals and benefits of the PMP/AB. The four stages of the PMP/AB are described in detail, including the overall objectives and key outcomes to complete each stage. It also presents a general stepwise process and recommended activities for completing the different stages. The PMP/AB checklist is divided into four broad categories, namely: Sectors and Stakeholders; Aquatic Health Services; Surveillance, Monitoring and Diagnostics; and Management and Evaluation.
