The APIQ® Option C VEBS-ASF (Voluntary Enhanced Biosecurity Standards – African swine fever) were introduced into APIQ® in 2022 as an optional verification module.
The VEBS in combination with APIQ® core standards represent the minimum biosecurity standard approved by regulators to support risk assessments for movement of live pigs and semen (from certified boar studs) during an ASF outbreak.
The project aims to build VEBS Facilitator capability and capacity to support production sites becoming VEBS Accredited.
