Table 3.

Proposals from the local technical committee on the unacceptable elements for Corsican pig farmers of the national biosecurity measures against African swine fever.

Problematic/unacceptable elements in the decree Suggestions for solving the problem “Acceptable” proposal
Lack of measures specific to island territory Insert a component specifically designed to protect against the introduction of new health hazards Effective implementation of measures at ports and airports
Raising awareness among importing deli producers
Communication with tourists and visitors
Health management problems with many health hazards already present Local preparedness involving farmers, state, vets, hunters, slaughterhouses Redistribution of responsibilities between all health actors
Difficulty of building barriers Realistic, effective changes to herd management
Feasibility, gradual change
Maintaining the pasturelands by preventing sexual interaction between wild boar and domestic animals
Keep breeding animals penned and accept the risk of deli meat loss
Adapt the biosecurity measures to Corsican farms (cancel inappropriate standards, add appropriate, effective elements)
Gradually upgrade farms according to their initial situation
