ON THE ISSUE OF BIOLOGICAL PROTECTION OF PIGS, SAFETY OF PIG FARMS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The purpose of the research is – to summarize measures on biological protection of pigs, safety of pig farms and environmental protection, taking into account EU standards for obtaining quality pig products. Research methods. Analytical research on the generalization of measures for biological protection of pigs, safety of pig farms and environmental protection was carried out by processing existing scientific reports, including EU regulatory requirements aimed at obtaining quality pig products. Research results. The procedure of biological protection of pigs is aimed at improving the physiological condition of animals and livestock productivity. During pork production, it is important to ensure the biological protection of animals to reduce the risk of spreading disease on pig farms. It is advisable to arrange a canopy on the playgrounds to protect pigs in bad weather and from the sun. With the intensification of pig farming, industrial practice shows an increase in the level of diseases of pigs associated with metabolic disorders in animals, the action of stressors, non-compliance with the parameters of the microclimate and feeding rules. In such conditions, preventive measures are especially important in the system of control of infectious and non-communicable diseases of pigs. Premises of pig farms after the completion of the technological cycle are subject to cleaning, keeping on sanitary rupture, ie the veterinary principle "everything is busy - everything is empty" must be observed. The safety of pig farms is a set of practical measures aimed at preventing the spread of infection to the farm and controlling the spread of infection within the farm. Biological safety of pig farms includes the following areas: biological isolation, biological regulation, biological protection. To protect the environment from pollution by pig farm waste, it is advisable to take the following measures. During the construction of pig farms it is necessary to observe sanitary gaps: to settlements not less than 1500 m, to other livestock facilities - 1000-1500 m. It is important to form a green belt, a strip of trees and shrubs around the pig farm - this is the most natural of all protective measures based on the fundamental principles of organic production. Conclusions. According to the results of analytical research, for the first time the measures on biological protection of pigs, safety of pig farms and environmental protection are summarized, taking into account EU standards for obtaining quality pig products. The procedure of biological protection of pigs is aimed at improving the physiological condition of animals and livestock productivity. The safety of pig farms is a set of practical measures aimed at preventing the spread of infection to the farm and controlling the spread of infection within the farm. Agricultural enterprises that have a significant impact on the environment are responsible for preventing and reducing the negative impact of their activities on the environment. The direction of livestock development, including pig breeding, namely the introduction of environmental requirements at different stages of implementation of modern technologies, the creation of farms adapted to EU regulations - this will ensure not only economic viability but also environmental and social responsibility of agribusiness in Ukraine. Key words: biological protection of pigs, EU regulatory requirements, environmental protection, resistance, pig breeding, pork, pig farm, technical means, technological measures.
