Another case of Swine Dysentery has been diagnosed on a farm in Yorkshire, initially by clinical sign and confirmed by tests.
Further details of the affected farm will not be published but area available to those who have signed up to the Significant Disease Charter.
No details are being given of the location of the affected farm, except to members of the Significant Disease Charter.
The charter is run by AHDB Pork on behalf of the Pig Health and Welfare Council and is an extension of the swine dysentery charter.
AHDB Pork veterinary manager Martin Smith said: “The aim of the charter is to share information quickly making the control and elimination of the disease easier and faster.
“Those who used to belong to the old Swine Dysentery Charter still need to sign up to the new one as their details have not been carried across.
“I would urge all producers to become members as it benefits the whole industry, not only with outbreaks of Swine Dysentery but also any other exotic or emerging diseases.”
National Pig Association senior policy adviser Dr Georgina Crayford said: "These cases are cropping up more frequently so I can’t overstress how important it is for producers to sign up to the Charter which can bring benefit to the whole industry."
